I installed OS Catalina on my MacBook today. But now I can't download the latest version of Chrome or of the Microsoft Office suite because they require a later OS (Big Sur).
When I try to download Big Sur - it says "file not found".
Help!!!
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
Which MacBook Pro do you have? (Check About This Mac in the Apple () menu.)
Some MacBook Pros that can run Catalina can't run anything later. Other, more recent ones, can be upgraded all of the way to Sequoia. You'll need one from Late 2013 or later to upgrade specifically to Big Sur.
