Hi, I have an old iMac mid 2007 running Leopard 10.5.8 and I upgraded the RAM to 4GB from 1GB.
I tried to install a new copy (clean install from USB booting) but can't do that.
OS X Yosemite on Unsupported Macs. MacOS Extractor, OS X Patcher, and MacPostFactor are apps that guide you through patching and installing OS X El Capitan (10.11), Yosemite (10.10), Mavericks(10.9), or Mountain Lion (10.8) on your older Mac. Like, Comment, Subscribe!Upgrade your 32bit Mac Pro 1,1 or 1,2 to 64bit and run Yosemite along with newer 64bit applications with a bootable usb thumb drive. It seems that most users who were running El Capitan will now be able to upgrade after all; everything works perfectly for me on a Mid-2009 MacBook Pro 13″, including features such as Siri. A recent update to the tool also enabled macOS updates to be received through the Mac App Store, so even that aspect is vanilla now.

This thread focuses on OS X El Capitan. When the operation completes, boot your target unsupported Mac off the USB drive you just created by holding down the Option key while turning on the machine, and selecting the drive. Note: Only perform steps 5 and 6 if you intend to do a clean install.
I've done the following steps:
- I created an USB bootable El Capitan installer
- I booted from USB
- I erased all the HDD content and I created a new partition
- tried to Install but I got this error: 'OS X could not be installed on your computer. No packages were eligible for install.'
I don't know what can I do at this point.
Reinstall Os X El Capitan
Thank you for all your help!
