Hi, I'm using a MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019) with a 2.3 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9 processor and 16 GB of memory. What version of OS should I upgrade to without unnecessary risk? I currently have Catalina 10.15.7. The newer the better I guess, but perhaps there are incompatibility issues that I'm unaware of. Your advice is appreciated. Thanks.
MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15
Also confirm that any peripherals you have will be compatible. Printers and scanners are a particular issue since most if not all printer manufacturers tend to stop developing drivers for anything but their newest devices.
Regards.
You can install macOS Sequoia. You may have software installed that may not be compatible with newer versions of macOS and may need updated or replaced.
Yes, I agree. Half the concern lies in potential compatibility issues with different software. I am wondering if there are any specific known issues with popular software, such as Microsoft Office, Adobe, SharePoint/Decisions, Teams or Zoom?
Excellent point, Varjak. I actually did experience printer issues with an upgrade many years ago, which had completely slipped my mind.
What OS can I safely upgrade to from 10.15.7? Are there compatibility issues to be aware of?
