Upgrade from High Sierra to Mojave (NOT Catalina)

Hello, I don't think this question has been asked too many times. Where can I obtain a copy of Mojave? I know it is possible to upgrade to NOT the latest OS, I done that before. But I want an official link to the OS, and I will trust this place over anywhere else.


Preemptive thanks.

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.13

It has been asked hundreds of times.


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

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 Mojave.app.

Move it to the Trash, empty the Trash.

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