I hearing warning to update mac computer to Monterey, my computer is too old and does not support Monterey. Is there anything should I do for my oldies to protect from hackers? I am running on Mojave 10.14.6, computer is from late 2013.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14
Hi,
If you have a Late 2013 13" MBP, you should upgrade it as far as possible, which is Big Sur.
How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support
Before upgrading, backup, check apps and peripherals for compatibility with Big Sur.
Big Sur will not run 32 bit apps, so download Go64 and scan your Mac to see which of your apps are 32 bit and will need to be upgraded/replaced: https://www.stclairsoft.com/Go64/
Some apps may be 64 bit but still not run on Big Sur; you can check them out here: https://roaringapps.com/apps

Thank you so much tjk, I have follow the steps you had recommended on here, it's seem complicated stuffs, therefor I don't feel comfortable enough to download anything I don't familia with... I am afrid something could go wrong and I don't know how to fix it. Is there an easy way to find out if my MacBook Pro run 32 bit or 64 bit apps? Thank you!
Go64 is the safe, easy way. The only other way I can think of is to open System Information > Applications > click on each app one at a time and read whether it says 32 or 64 bit. That would be very slow and tedious. I recommend Go64....
Hi tjk,
I would like to add more questions from my last respond, How can I see the list of recently used apps that are 32-bit before I installing macOS Big Sure?
See my previous response.
What should I update security for MacBook Pro late 2013?
