Apple has launched recently a new version of macOS called Mojave 10.14 but a more shocking news for the users is that it doesn’t support the old Macs prior to 2012. So many people were thinking that Apple will continue the support of Mojave for at-least MacBook Pro 2010 model but Apple hasn’t come up with the idea of giving this model support. So the latest model of Mojave doesn’t support 2010 model too.

It will be unfair for those who have the old models of MacBook Pro to not to have the latest macOS Mojave on their devices, so every problem has a solution so as this problem surely has a solution too. Anyone can install macOS Mojave on their unsupported Mac even on the early 2008 Mac models by just using a third-party patcher app.
