Tachoe MAcBook 2015

Dear Support,

I was absolutely delighted when my MacBook offered to upgrade to macOS Tachoe after years of encouraging me to stay without security updates.

I’m also very grateful that the upgrade successfully bricked my MacBook, only to inform me afterward that my device isn’t actually supported for macOS Tachoe. What a thoughtful way to find out!

Thanks to this experience, I’ve significantly improved my equilibristic skills while restoring my MacBook from a Linux backup.

Now that I’m back up and running, I’m just wondering — why does my MacBook continue to suggest upgrading to Tachoe every single day?

Thanks,

This is a user-to-user forum. You are not addressing Apple here.

You cannot upgrade any 2015 MacBook Pro past macOS 12.* (Monterey). If Software Update offered to put macOS 26 Tahoe on your 2015 MacBook Pro, that was clearly a bug. (There are only two Intel-based MacBook Pro models that qualify to run Tahoe – the last major version of macOS that will run on any Intel-based Mac of any kind.)

If it is easy to get the bug to manifest itself on your particular machine, you may be getting upgrade suggestions all the time for the same reason that people who can upgrade – but haven't – get them all of the time.
