I am still unable to access 2.0 Hybrid Keys instruments but the 1.0 version instruments work
(Error message your version of Kontakt is too old to load this file.) I have kontakt 7.4.2 player which i updated in error because I remember playing it in previous version of kontakt 7 player. So would the solution be to provide older version of kontakt 7 player I don’t remember the versions of k7 player that worked but this would eliminate the problem i assume. I’d also like to buy more VST etc etc but I am afraid they wont work with 7.4.2 version of Kontakt player.

You need Kontakt 7.6 and above to be able to load the latest updates of all Play Series titles (due to NKS2 support being added to them, which requires K7.6 and above).

So I did a quick search. It seems the issue isn't necessarily the drive per say but rather the BIOS lacks the EFI bootrom... which sounds like they changed from BIOS to UEFI boot mode.
At anyrate it seems like your only option is to buy or borrow an official mac drive so you can upgrade to Monterey and then after that the firmware will exist in the BIOS and you can swap back in your non-apple SSD.

Banga, I think you should update Kontakt 7 to the latest version, same goes for the Hybrid Keys.
And if it doesn't work, try to reinstall those 2 plugins.
Hope it helps.

I’m definitely running Unsupported Mac OS 10.15 Catalina with Kontakt player 7.4.2 but somehow it works ok…but I’m skeptical on going any higher. Unless anybody knows if it will still function…If I upgrade to full Kontakt 7

Is there a way to download previous play series titles that will work with Kontakt 7.4.2 or Kontakt 6

I'm not really sure...
Why? Do these newer versions crash or something?

The new versions will not play unless you are lucky enough to find a downgrade (for that vst) link in the forums...I assume if you buy any new play series you can't use them unless you have the newest Kontakt player above 7.4.2

Well, I don't really know.
In my laptop, I have Kontakt 7 full version 7.7, and all the newest play series and they work just fine...

its all because NI has a new algorithm for their new keyboard that they decided to upgrade all play series items that may have worked before in kp7.4.2 but can't work now unless NI decides to take time out and send the downgrade links which a guy named Jeremy did and got some of my play series vst's functioning again nonetheless this is a headache for those who can't upgrade to 7.7 KP Player
