You start by telling us WHICH Mac and its SUB-MODEL. There are too many possibilities and I promise—you do not want us guessing! Gets ugly fast!


The sub-model is the key to what upgrade options, if any, you have.


Please do "About this Mac..." from your Apple menu to find an tell us Model, Sub-Model and current macOS version:



but please DO NOT post and serial numbers.


Your Mac must be at least as new as one of these to use macOS 12 Monterey:


  • MacBook (Early 2016 or newer)
  • MacBook Air (Early 2015 or newer)
  • MacBook Pro (Early 2015 or newer)
  • Mac mini (Late 2014 or newer)
  • iMac (Late 2015 or newer)
  • iMac Pro (2017)
  • Mac Pro (Late 2013 or newer)


Older models cannot run macOS 12 Monterey
