Important: it must be not in the same container as your current mac installation. Installing Big Sur in the same APFS container as your current macOS installation will cause issues. Cr...

    Open Disk Utility
    Format your drive with “Mac OS Extended (Journaled)” and “GUID Partition Map”. That “GUID” part IS IMPORTANT! Micropatcher cannot be applied to a MBR partitioned drive!

    Versions that proven to be working for me: 1. 11.0.1 (initial install) 2. 11.2.1 (update via full installer and running patcher again) Warning! Before trying to install anything newer than 11.2.1, please make sure that it’s still supported by micropatcher!

    For further steps, look at the big-sur-micropatcher’s README: There is seemingly a lot of steps, but you can start right from the step 6, and ignore steps 12, 16, 18 and 19 if installing on the Mac Mini 2012.

  4. Late 2012 Mac Mini i7. Finally installed 11.1 on my Late 2012 Mac mini using Patched Sur. https://github.com/BenSova/Patched-Sur. I waited a long time since this is my primary machine.

  5. My Mac Mini mid-2011 experience. Mostly just an FYI for anyone who is/was thinking about trying to run Big Sur on the Mac Mini mid 2011 (I think it's the Mac Mini 5,1).
