Have done this for both Big Sur and Monterey on the computers ( 4 ) in my stable and has worked like a charm.The purpose of this driver is to enable Mac App Store access even if you don’t have a built-in Ethernet port with supporting drivers.


Results - single download and upgrade 2 or more computers without the 8 Hours download to each individual computer. Now, that second or third computer is ready to be upgraded. Move the drive t next qualifying computer to upgrade to Monterey and Copy from the External Drive to Applications folder on that computer. This will create a New Application in the Applications folder called " Install Monterey " Copy that Application to a reliable External Drive. Instead of downloaded to each computer - download it Once. It appear one has more than one computer that qualifies for the Monterey Computer. One is more lightly to receive better responses with assistance to your issue.Īnother suggestion - the length of time to download Monterey. Suggestion - open a New Question outlining the specific issue and what hardware is involved plus any steps take to resolve the issue Do something! Since 1997, I have not experienced such a bad OS installment process. Please understand Apple: this Monterey TOTALLY *****. I had to re-install Monterey, and then it finally worked. Nothing had been updated, and there was no error message or anything. On the Catalina the installment took some 45 minutes. And there is absolutely no saying what is going on. The computer now keeps restarting with a black screen (three times). On the Big Sur machine, the installment process displayed as "about 28 minutes" has taken over 2.5 hours now, and is still not done. The download of Monterey took about 8 hours on each computer (normally this takes 40 minutes). One was running Catalina, and one was on Big Sur. I need to use the migration assistant in OSX to switch to a newer Imac, and for that reason the old and the new computer have to run on the same OSX. There is something deeply wrong with the Monterey install.

And looking at the other comments here, the problems have been present for at least two months. This Monterey installment is a complete disaster.
