Upgrade to OS Ventura

I currently have OS Mojave 10.14.6. Can I upgrade to OS Ventura?

Last time I upgraded it caused problems with my email which is btinternet.com and it took ages to sort out because Apple said it was the email provider's problem and the email provider said it was Apple's problem - Catch 22.

The Age of this computer will Govern what newer version of macOS it will Qualify to install. Use About this Mac from the Apple Icon on Desktop - the required Information will be there.


With the above information in-hand - follow this How to get old versions of macOS and verify what version this computer Qualifies to install.  For Best results use Safari to commence the download as Others may not work.


Safari will open a redirect and open the Apple Store where the download can commence.


I would suggest upGrading in Steps as there are a great deal of changes that have taken side Mojave to present.


Computer Qualifying for macOS 13 Ventura 


Computer Qualify for the Monterey upgrade


macOS Big Sur 11 hardware requirements


macOS Catalina 10.15 hardware requirements



Make Time Machine Backup  is very useful 


Further, a Rescue Plan consisting of the 3 - 2 - 1 Method.


3 Backups using 2 different methods and 1 Off Site incase of Natural or Un-Natural Disaster


Notation - Mojave is the Last version to support 32 bit applications / extensions and Drivers. Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura supports only 64 bit and there is no workaround.


Suggest using Go64 to find 32 bit application before attempting the upGrade. Some or many of the Application already installed may require an update or upGrades to 64 Bit Version
