Where to find a download link for Mojave 10.14 in order to upgrade from High Sierra 10.13.6?

I have High Sierra 10.13.6 and read this version can be upgraded to Mojave 10.14 but I can't find anywhere a download for Mojave 10.14!

My purpose: upgrade Logic Pro X 10. 4.6 to 10.5 which requires OS 10.14.6

thanks

iMac 27″, macOS 10.13

Don't use FireFox for this link…

If you get a corrupted message...

Naw, not damaged, it's just that you have an old copy already in Applications, Trash the Install MacsOS Mojave.app in Applications then a new copy can be downloaded.

The model and year of your Mac will determine which macOS you can upgrade to,

read Section 1 in each of the How To's.... below.

How to upgrade to macOS Mojave - Apple Support


Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac.


Check that third party apps you use have updates available for the new OS.

https://roaringapps.com

Check that your printers/ scanners etc have updated drivers and software available for the new OS.


Connect your mac to your router via cable rather than rely on WiFi.

Do not use your mac while it is downloading

and do not use any other devices that share the same internet connection.


If the App Store says ‘Open’ then it is detecting a previous download of the install app

go to the Applications folder locate Install macOS ******.app.

Move it to the Trash, empty the Trash.

Restart, click on the link again, the App Store should say ‘Get' or 'Download'.


If you are considering upgrading to Catalina be warned that it does not support 32bit apps.

Your Mac is probably running 32bit apps and these will need to be updated to 64bit apps,

some updates may be free, some may be paid. Use this app to discover which apps you have

are 32bit, https://www.stclairsoft.com/Go64/. Once the list has been created you can then

contact the developers of the apps to see if they provide 64bit updates.

The links you have been given are correct and will download the full installer for macOS Mojave,

this will install the latest version 10.14.6, you do not need 10.14 or any earlier version.


When Apple first releases an OS its first version will be 10.14, when Apple update the OS they remove the 10.14 full installer from the App Store and replace it with 10.14.1, and so it goes through 10.14.2 to where we are now with 10.14.6.


If you had downloaded updates to Mojave from the Apple Support Downloads site then these are what they are,

updates to Mojave, you need to be running an earlier version of Mojave for them to install.


So to recap all you need is to follow the links given by myself or Neil to the Mojave download page in the App Store,

this is where you will download the full installer 10.14.6 (6.2GBs), this is all you need.

thanks much . I did all that already, my iMac is 2013. When I had gone to that Mojave link, it is for Mojave 10.4.6, not 10.14 and apparently before going from 10.13.6 to 10.14.6, I need first to upgrade to 10.14. I still checked the Mojave link in app store and only the"Open" button appears (I think that is normal I can t go directly from 10.13.6 to 10.14.6,) and I get this window, see attached png. I read in many places that it is the case to have to upgrade first to 10.14 before 10.14.6 but there is no indication anywhere where to get Mojave 10.14. My App store window does not show a mojave upgrade option. Thank you
