Mac Mini Late 2012 - macOS Ventura and SSD Upgrade

In this video, I will start by taking a quick look at the Apple mac Mini in general and the one I have, a late 2012 model or MacMini6,1. Then I'll upgrade the slow hard disk to an SSD and I will also install macOS Ventura on it.
That should extend the useful life of this nice device significantly.
Lets see what what we can still do with it and make it usable again for 2023.

Newer version of macOS: Sonoma
In the meanwhile, macOS Sonoma has been released. A very similar method is available to install the latest version of macOS on unsupported hardware. I did a separate video that covers that version of macOS,. You can find that one over here:    • Install macOS Sonoma on unsupported m...
