macbook pro "13 2011

  1. JnL

    What's the last year of MacBook Pros with native XP drivers, or at least enough to be usable?

    I have an Early 2011 13" MBP. Last of the Snow Leopard era, and technically last that can run a BootCamp version capable of running XP. What I'm wondering is if the cutoff is the 2009s, 2010s, or 2011s.

    MBP 2011 13" 8,1 Internal Keyboard Startup Keys Not Working

    Does anyone have issues with their MBP 2011 13" 8,1 startup keys (cmd+R, option, etc)? I found this issue years back when I tried installing Bootcamp, but the system wouldn't recognize the installer USB so I needed to get back to my macOS.

    Two Questions: Macbook Pro 2011

    1. I have a 2011 Macbook Pro that will not turn on without being plugged into the charger, but once it has booted up it can run just fine without being plugged in.

    macOS High Sierra issues

    So last week I updated my late-2011 MacBook Pro with the latest security patch from Apple (2019-004).
