…until you have made a Time Machine or other backup of your startup drive.

The macOS version you can upgrade to depends on the year your Mac was released.

Click the Apple menu () at the top of your screen and choose About This Mac.


Check the compatibility of your Mac hardware with newer versions of macOS software:

➡️ macOS 10.15 Catalina is compatible with the Macs listed here


If your Mac is compatible with this OS upgrade, then this:

Alternative Method–

✅ - Download the macOS upgrade installer app:

Click >  macOS 10.15 Catalina 

Once downloaded, double-click the “Install macOS…” app in the Applications folder to begin the upgrade.

Please see > How to download macOS - Apple Support.



❗️ – IMPORTANT – None of your old 32-bit apps will work in macOS Catalina or newer, including MS Office, Adobe, Photoshop and many other older apps and drivers. This will require that you find 64-bit updates and/or replacement titles.
