Apple supports the three most recent versions of MacOS: Big Sur, Monterey, and Ventura.
If your computer is running Mojave (10.14) or older you are no longer receiving security
updates, and your machine is at an increased risk of compromised data. More information
about Apple's security updates may be found here: Apple Security Updates
Check MacOS Version
To check your current version of MacOS:
1. In the Apple icon at the upper left of the screen, select About This Mac.
2. In the popup window, your Mac OS Version will be listed at the top, followed by the computer model.
Take note of both your version, and model (above) in case you run into issues in the next step. You may need to supply this information to the Help Desk.
How to Upgrade
1. As in the previous step, go to the Apple icon and select About This Mac.
2. In the lower right, select Software Update.
3. A software update screen will open with the latest OS listed on the right. Press Upgrade Now to begin.
