how safe is this?

[u/Uncle_Abernacle]

i’m running heliport with itwlm for wifi if you need to know that

[u/DenbyDaily]

Should be fine, but may need to update OC and kexts. If it’s something important to you, I’d wait for the public release

[u/Uncle_Abernacle → u/DenbyDaily]

I updated all the kexts and OC, will install now

[u/SnooOwls1916]

Yeah don’t. It’s a beta. Wait for stable, if you have to ask you clearly dot need it at the moment.

It depends, I've it installed on a separate disk and it's quite smooth and until now stable so if it's your daily driver I would say no don't upgrade unless you know what you are doing

[u/shnyaps]

I had beta 7 and just updated to beta 8. Which configuration do you have?

[u/Tanish1711]

update oc, kexts and backup the efi just in case

[u/IxEzraxI-1987]

It's not safe your usb ports will not work, before you upgrade you will need to edit your usb kext ini file.https://elitemacx86.com/threads/how-to-fix-usb-ports-on-macos-tahoe.2359/ Follow the manual method and you will be ok. It worked for me.

But I will tell you that it is not worth it, if I were you I would wait for the final release

alright, thank you.

You're asking if a beta release of the OS is safe. If you have to ask, it's not for you.

[u/Uncle_Abernacle → u/RealisticError48]

well im just wondering if it went well for the people that did it, and it really messed me up and when i put my password in it doesnt take it

[u/RealisticError48 → u/Uncle_Abernacle]

If you have to ask if something is safe, try installing it in a sandbox partition or drive. That's what I do.

[u/Uncle_Abernacle → u/RealisticError48]

okay

[u/randylush → u/Uncle_Abernacle]

or use Clonezilla and make an image of your drive. that's what i would do. like quicksaving before a big fight
