Mac Pro 4,1 - Full hardware and software upgrade to Big Sur

In this video, I will upgrade a classic Mac Pro 4,1 all the way up to Big Sur. From hardware perspective, I will upgrade the memory, CPU, GPU and install a SSD. In terms of software we start with Leopard and will go through the necessary steps to end up with a powerful system running Big Sur.

All info discussed and shown in the video can be found well-documented on my blog, jensd.be, as well. For this video: https://jensd.be/1263/apple/complete-mac-pro-41-soft-and-hardware-upgrade-all-the-way-up-to-big-sur
