Original Title: MacOS updates?... Early 2015 MacBook Pro.
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.7
The video you may have seen may have mentioned using a " Hacked Version " of Sequoia
In which case your expectations were badly misled
As has been mentioned earlier, early 2015 MacBook Pro only qualifies to run macOS 12 Monterey at best.
There does exist, from Apple, the opportunity to Trade In the existing computer for a new computer
The Value of the current machine would be applied against the cost of the new computer

According to both Apple and MacTracker, macOS 12 Monterey is the newest version of macOS that's compatible with your Mac.
That video was either
If you installed the hack, there would be no guarantee that Sequoia would run properly. You might even mess up your Mac and have trouble reverting back to Monterey.
Identify your MacBook Pro model - Apple Support
There are some applications that you could use to extend the useful life of that machine.
These include
The current versions of these applications will run even on Big Sur, or in many cases, Catalina. So they might help to substitute for applications from vendors such as Microsoft and Adobe who like to support only the "most recent three".

This is not about you or me
It is about being environmental friendly
Don’t need it? We’ll take it.
We’ll recycle your Apple devices, cables, cases, accessories and other similar electronics for free. You’ll help protect the earth’s precious resources and reduce waste as we work towards a better future for the planet.
i think i'm alright trading my macbook in. I think i'm fine with macOS 12.7.4 (Monterey) it works fine and works with my other apple devices. Some things like AirPods aren't recognised by Find-My but it still works!! thx for the opinion tho
You are welcome
Though you may also consider that once the next version of macOS is released ( Tahoe macOS version 26 )
Intel computers will not longer be supported to upgrade beyond Tahoe
This will really push older computers and versions of macOS further and further behind the times
Just saying consider your option carefully
Excellent advice.👍🏽

Correct. My post was for the user's benefit. Not "you or me".
Is it possible to upgrade my 2015 MacBook Pro to macOS Sequoia?
