• Spotlight improvements: In addition to finding apps and files on your computer, Spotlight can now give you quick results from the Web about weather, sports, and a whole lot more.
• App updates and background security: As usual, there have been a number of smaller improvements to built-in apps like Safari, Notes, and Mail.

Check compatibility

The version of macOS that came with your Mac is the earliest version it can use. For example, if your Mac came with macOS Big Sur, it will not accept installation of macOS Catalina or earlier.

• macOS Mojave 10.14 hardware requirements
• macOS High Sierra 10.13 hardware requirements
• macOS Sierra 10.12 hardware requirements
