Why can't my M1 Macbook Pro run Tahoe?

Thought all Apple Silicon devices were supported but it seems that is not true


edit for clarity: it gave me Sequoia 15.7 instead, that wasn't available earlier today

MacBook Pro 13″

For future reference, as leroydouglas pointed out in another thread, Command-R will refresh the Software Update screen in System Settings. I was only seeing 15.7, but after Command-R I saw both 26 and 15.7 offered. Tahoe is installing as I type this, without needing to install 15.7.


Thanks for the tip. I never would have known that … and now that I've typed Command-R, Software Update is offering me both the Sequoia 15.7 update and the Tahoe 26 upgrade!
