Problems installing new SSD on early 2011 MacBook Pro with bad GPU

Hey all,

I recently received a friends old malfunctioning early 2011 macbook pro. Unfortunately, the issue seems to be a bad GPU. I have been able to boot into his old OS with the .kext GPU workaround but I would like to put in a new SSD and install Sierra onto that.

The problem is that when I try to boot into the installer USB, the GPU problem is still present and I am not able to get into the GUI to install the OS. I am wondering if there is a similar workaround for a USB installer to be able to switch to the Intel GPU in order to install the OS.

Does anyone know of a solution?

Thanks!

1. Pull the drive and use a SATA to USB adapter and hook it up to another Mac. Now download and install.

gfxcard status https://gfx.io

Open the program to make sure it is active.

Hook up to the old machine and boot.

2. If you don’t have access to another Mac, follow these instructions:

Can this work if I use a Macbook that is a different model than the one I want to install the OS on?

Once you install the software, if it is one a machine without the dual graphics, when you boot it on that machine, the machine will pop a notice that it won't work on this model, then it will run just fine.
