    How to download and install Apple’s newly released operating system ‘macOS Monterey’

    Apple’s new operating system for Macs, MacOS Monterey has finally arrived. The Monterey OS comes alongside upgrades to Apple’s MacBook line, including multiple new M1 chips and a new generation of AirPods. Monterey adds several of the new features found in iOS 15, like spatial audio in FaceTime and Apple’s Focus feature.

    Here are some of our favorite features from Monterey, also known as MacOS 12. And in case you missed Apple’s October event, you can read about the new 14-inch MacBook Pro and 16-inch MacBook Pro, plus the M1 chips that are pushing Intel out of Apple computers.

    How do I download and install MacOS Monterey?

    1. Make sure your Mac is compatible with MacOS Monterey. 

    2. Back up your Mac, just to be safe. You don’t want to risk losing everything when you upgrade. 

    3. On your Mac, go to System Preferences > Software Update and find MacOS Big Monterey. Click Upgrade Now. The download will start immediately, but may take awhile. 

    Once you download and install the update and restart your computer, you’ll be running on MacOS Monterey. 

    How do I download and install the MacOS Monterey public beta?

    With MacOS Monterey’s Universal Control feature, you’ll be able to move seamlessly between different screens.

    As of today, you no longer need to follow these steps to run MacOS Monterey. But if you like having hands-on previews, here’s how to get future MacOS public beta versions on your machine. Note: You should never download a beta version on your primary device, as they’re often buggy — we recommend only doing so if you have a separate tester device available. 

    1. Back up your Mac, just to be safe.

    2. On your Mac, go to beta.apple.com.

    3. Sign in with your Apple ID and select MacOS from the list of programs.

    4. In the Getting Started section, click Enroll your Mac. 

    5. On the next page, click on the blue button with the beta version you’re looking for.

    6. Open the downloaded file and follow the prompts.

    7. After the utility is installed, check for a software update using the update tool in System Preferences and then follow the prompts to download and install it. 

    Once you restart your computer, you’ll be running on the latest beta.
