- Jul 09, 2016 I wonder: if I have a Macbook Pro 3,1, supported by El Capitan, can I clone the SSD to my Macbook 2,1, and, after that, can I install some type of bootloader, as I did with my Hackintosh, to get it working? Is it possible to install directly the OS X patches (efi.boot and whatever needed) to get the Macbook 2,1 booting up el Capitan?

if the manufactures of third party hardware is in good time those can be included in the os update
if they are / do not people have to go to the website of the manufacture and download their driver
a manufacture can also choose no longer to provide support for their older models in which case the only way to use the piece of hardware is to downgrade to a version of mac os which has working drivers for the device
