Hi guys. I decided to upgrade my MacBook Pro Mid 2012 to SSD. I bought a Kingston A400 480 GB SSD to swap with the old HDD.
- Sad news for owners of Mid 2010 and Mid 2012 Mac Pros, no Catalina for them. In my previous article, I wrote that all Macs that run macOS 10.14 Mojave will also be able to run macOS 10.15 Catalina. However, this isn't entirely true.
- Assuming it is a compatible machine, yes. If it isn't then generally the DosDude work arounds are fine if you really need it. Make sure you get all your apps upgraded to 64-bit (most companies do have 64-bit versions); that or find an alternative.
I have with a USB adaptor downloaded Mac OS Catalina with my already installed HDD. I can boot to the SSD's Mac OS through the USB adaptor, but can't boot to it with the internal SATA connector (I get the blinking folder error). I can boot to my HDD's Mac OS through the SATA port, and I don't really get that.
One significant difference with compatibility between macOS Mojave and its predecessor, macOS Catalina, is that macOS Mojave supported mid-2010 or mid-2012 Mac Pro models with a recommended.
I have swapped the original 4 GB of RAM to 16 GB, and yes, I have already tried both combinations with my SSD, it works with the HDD.
I see that alot of people suggest the cable could be bad, but I don't get that since the HDD works with it? I have also tried the CMD+Alt+P+R combo with no success.
I have tried an SMC reset also. Do anyone have a suggestion, I feel like I have tried everything with no success at all.
Best Regards. Tobias

Users looking to benefit from Apple's forthcoming macOS Catalina innovations will need to have a desktop Mac or MacBook Pro from 2012 or later, or a MacBook from 2015 onwards.
Alongside its reveal of the new macOS Catalina at WWDC 2019, Apple has announced which Macs will be capable of running the updated operating system when it is launched to the public later this year.
A new page called 'See if your Mac can run macOS Catalina' has appeared on Apple's website but it isn't entirely clear.
The summary is that 2012 desktop Macs like the Mac mini, iMac, iMac Pro and Mac Pro, or later will be compatible. With notebooks, Apple requires a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro from 2012 or later, or a MacBook from 2015 onwards.
However, in the case of the MacBook Pro, there is some uncertainty. While Apple states 'MacBook Pro 2012 or later,' there were actually two models released that year, one in mid-2012 and another in late-2012.

Each entry on Apple's page, including those for MacBook Pros, includes a Learn More button which takes you through to how you can identify which Mac you've got. This identification page makes no reference to Catalina, though, so we can only presume that this macOS will run on both the 'mid-2012' and 'late 2012' models.
Apple released the first beta version of macOS Catalina to developers for testing on Monday, with members of the Public Beta Program due to receive the software in July.
