Updating High Sierra to Catalina

Hi all,


I've been a bit lazy with updating my Macbook Pro OS, I'm still on 10.13.6.


It doesn't look like I can jump straight to 10.15 - do I need to update 10.13.6 to something else before I can get it to 10.15?


Thanks!

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.13

You're welcome.

Also, while the specs call for 4GB RAM for Catalina but I wouldn't try that myself. Catalina is more RAM hungry than previous OSs. I'dhave a minimum of 8GB.

Start by moving off the larger, lesser used items in your Documents, Music, Photos, Movies.

While the OS may need state that it requires much space, you also have to consider that it needs more space to install and run. As a rule of thumb, you should have abut 10-15% free space depending on the size of your drive.
