You might want to take a look here: http://forums.macrumors.com/threads/macos-10-12-sierra-unsupported-macs-thread.1977128/ Where a patching application and script are allowing folks to install Sierra (very successfully) on quite a number of Macs that Apple has chosen to stop supporting. Speculation is that in at least some cases, the drop is because some models didn’t sell well enough to make it worth Apple’s time and resources to vet all possible configurations with all possible combinations of installed software in their testing lab. -Bill > So, if anybody has insight that might brighten my day...
