Hello,
due to many different softwares that now require new MacOS, but are still not ready for the most recent ones (such as Tahoe), I need to upgrade from Ventura to either Sonoma or Sequoia.
Is that possible? How do Macbook M1 Pro Max generally handle these two operating systems?
I am running Sequoia v15.7.2 on my 2021 M1 MacBook Pro (32G/1TB) without any issues. I recommend that you ignore Sonoma and upgrade to Sequoia after a current Time Machine backup. Before you upgrade, confirm with third-party vendors' sites that their software is compatible with Sequoia. Depending on what operating system you are presently using and the age of your third-party applications, this may require paid or unpaid updates to achieve compatibility.
According to Apple, your MacBook Pro M1 can install both macOS versions, check theses articles:
macOS Sonoma is compatible with these computers - Apple Support
macOS Sequoia is compatible with these computers - Apple Support
How to download and install macOS - Apple Support
Or in the App Store, search for "macOS Sonoma" or "macOS Sequoia". Apple recently changed the App Store so that it doesn't hide old versions of macOS the way that it used to do.
Can I upgrade to Sonoma on a Macbook M1 Pro Max?
