Install Big Sur on a second hard drive
Hello, I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2012, with two internal SSDs, in the main one I have MacOS High Sierra, can I install MacOS big sur in the other and be able to change from one system to another without problem? thanks!
I have MacBook Pro Mid 2012 with two internal SSDs. The problem: no driver for WiFi on it, but I don't know, how the MacBook Pro 2012 Late was build.

Did you run patch-kexts.sh?
It replacing the kexts (or drivers) of the system with ones that work with your WiFi card.
- Boot into your installer usb
- Open Terminal under Utilities.
- Type in /Volumes/Image\ Volume/patch-kexts.sh and press enter
- Boot back into macOS and enjoy your WiFi!
I'll test it later, but at the moment I'm unfortunately formatting my backup hard drive (USB 3.0) 1 TB to secure erase in seven steps. I'll try it later and thanks for the answer.
3. Type in /Volumes/Image\ Volume/patch-kexts.sh and press enter
Well I downloaded the patch-kexts.sh now. And my question now: What do you mean with "Type in /Volume/Image\ Volume/patch-kexts.sh" now?
Did you mean "/Volume/Image", where I installed Big Sur now, or how should I do to understand it?
Type /Volumes/Image\ Volume/patch-kexts.sh /Volumes/Name
This applies the Wifi patch to your installation disk. Replace "name" with the name of your disk
Type /Volumes/Image\ Volume/patch-kexts.sh /Volumes/Name
This applies the Wifi patch to your installation disk. Replace "name" with the name of your disk
Sorry, for being a noob, but as I restarted my Mac, hold the ALT-Key to start my "USB Big Sur Installer". And now the problem: I choose my Admin-Account and enter my passwort, and after that, my mac just wrote, I would enter my password wrong. And this everytime... . What is the problem, or did I something wrong? it won't let me go in into the reinstall-, and terminal window. It just wrote, I would only enter my password wrong. What is the problem, or did I something wrong?
To answer the OP: that's what I did on my late 2012 iMac. Catalina installed on one SSD and Big Sur installed on the other. When installing macOS, it asks you which (separate) drive to install it on.
