Updating my early 2015 MacBook Pro

I've delayed updating my MacBook Pro for a while.... I watched an update crash my sister's 2013, and since then, I've been nervous.

I've read that the Monterey 12.5 is "safe for early 2015 and later", but my current OS is Mojave 10.14.6.

Will trying to jump from Mojave to Monterey kill my computer?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Hi,


It should be safe installing Monterey, but some people do have trouble. If you want, you can install Catalina, then Big Sur before Monterey: How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support.


Before upgrading, backup, check apps and peripherals for compatibility with whichever OS you decide to upgrade to.


Catalina, Big Sur and Monterey will not run 32 bit apps, so download Go64 and scan your Mac to see which of your apps are 32 bit and will need to be upgraded/replaced: https://www.stclairsoft.com/Go64/


Some apps may be 64 bit but still not run on a particular OS; you can check them out here: https://roaringapps.com/apps
