I know this. But how do I know which Mac version it shipped from the factory with?

The graphic above states the mac shipped with macOS 13 <original>.

• Hello

I want to buy a M2 Max MacBook Pro for the recording studio that I work in but it has become a bit of an issue

Since we use a lot of third party software in our work it is key that all the software we use will run on this machine.

I've checked all the software we use for compatibility

All of it is compatible with MacOS Ventura

• Around 10-15% is not compatible with MacOS Sonoma

The staff at my local reseller cannot tell me wether this MacBook will come with Ventura or Sonoma and whether or not I'll be able to downgrade it if needed.

Since it's vital that this MacBook runs Ventura and not Sonoma what can I do?

How can I be sure which OS will be installed on it?

Kind regards

You can not down grade and further than what the Mac shipped with from the factory.

What I see here—

The current macOS Ventura 13.6.7 (May 13, 2024)
