In this video, I will upgrade a classic Mac Pro 4,1 all the way up to Big Sur. From hardware perspective, I will upgrade the memory, CPU, GPU and install a SSD. In terms of software we start with Leopard and will go through the necessary steps to end up with a powerful system running Big Sur.
All info discussed and shown in the video can be found welldocumented on my blog, jensd.be, as well. For this video: https://jensd.be/1263/apple/complete...
