Updating macOS Monterey 12.7.6 to macOS 13 or Higher

Then you check the developer's website to see if an earlier version of it is available. If you're trying to get it from the App Store, try downloading the current one to a newer Mac on the same Apple ID first.

It's better to upgrade directly; performing multiple installations takes longer and increases the chance that something will go wrong. If you still want to, all of the individual versions are available in the article I linked to above.

Hi, I have Monterey 12.7.6 on a MacBook Pro 2019 and want to upgrade the macOS but am hesitant about upgrading more than one release or level at a time.

Hoe do I find the individual MacOs for Ventura then Sonoma then Sequoia if it will run on my MacBook. Thanks, David

For a 2017 MacBook Air, Monterey is the end of the line. If the application requires Ventura or later, and you can't get an earlier version that is compatible with Monterey, your choices are to:

• Get a Mac that can run something later than Monterey,
• Switch to another application that does similar things (if one compatible with Monterey is available), or
• Go without

Back up your data, check the application compatibility table, click here, and if your MacBook Air is a 2018 or newer model, then on the download link for a higher OS.
