Update from Sonoma 14 to Sequoia 15

I've got a 2020 Macbook air that is still running on Sonoma 14 OS and I want to update it to Sequoia instead of Tahoe. How do I proceed?

+ 1 Owl-53 is spot on.


Take the offered Sonoma 14.8.1 shown in the "Also available" section.


Then from Sonoma 14.8.1 the "Also available" should offer up the Sequoia 15 Upgrade.


If not, go to > How to download and install macOS - Apple Support and get Sequoia from the App Store.

The work you have done deserves a " Shout Out "


Or, at least an acknowledge for the time and efforts you have put in, to steer OP in the right direction

Thank you. Shout out maybe, Top-ranking no...

Actually I thought you should have gotten the Top-ranking reply for your effort.

Nonetheless , I am still of the belief.


We have put OP, at least in the right direct regardless of what the AI has to say


Slightly off Topic on an observation


Looking at @ tt2 unofficial Apple Support Communities Leaderboard


Doing a little math


See about 10% of all the listed individuals, 582 to be exact, are actually doing the " Heavy Lifting ".
