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

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.
