So I've a Macbook Pro running Mavericks, and I absolutely hate it sometimes. It overheats sometimes, and sometimes the lag is unbearable. I google'ed this and found many people experincing the same problem. I tried Mountain Lion and my brother's Macbook Pro and it has no such problems. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to downgrade to Mountain Lion without a Time Machine backup. I heard it is possible through booting into internet recovery or something. But I have no idea how I do it. Help would be appreciated.

For reference: Tip for downgrading to Mountain Lion : osx

Only if ur MacBook came with earlier version of mac then u can by Restarting, cmd+option+r

I did same with my cousin's MacBook Pro who doesn't like Mavericks

Alright, but do I need a copy or installer of the Mac version I need to revert to? Or can it be easily done with the method you mentioned?

No it'll need a gud internet
Connection like 4mb or better to download 3.8+ installation (if mountain lion is the original OSX)

That shouldn't be a problem then. One more question, my Macbook Pro is 2011 model, so I suppose it came with Lion. Is there a way to upgrade to Mountain Lion without going directly to Mavericks.

Mountain Lion was a paid update. You'll either go to Lion, or a free upgrade to Mavericks.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.

    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    It is indeed the worst generation by far.

    Both PS and Xbox have been a flop this gen as they can barely maintain 30 fps in a lot of AAA games th.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
