Slightly related to this is a software called OpenCore Legacy Patcher [1]. It allows people to install newer macOS versions on older hardware. I don't know if the firmware updates are included though, maybe they aren't.
I recently installed High Sierra on a MacBook Pro from 2011, and it works flawlessly.

- jasomill 2y agoAFAIK, installing/updating unsupported OS versions via OCLP doesn't update firmware. It certainly hasn't on my MacPro6,1 running Sonoma (have 478, current is 481); the workaround is a PITA (Monterey only updates firmware if installed on the internal SSD, so I either need to buy a spare or backup / clean install / restore) and probably not worth the trouble. Other than this, OCLP + Sonoma on the MacPro6,1 is fantastic.
