How to Install It
Important Note 1: If you are running any software which you suspect might not be compatible with the new system, do not do this update until you check with the developer. Note that this should not be a common problem.
Important Note 2: You might want to run a backup first, just in case something goes wrong, although this is very unusual with modern OS updates. A Time Machine backup onto an external hard disk is probably the best and easiest option. Note that the first backup could take a long time, depending on the amount of data you have, and the speed of the drive.
To download the update, click on the Apple menu, then click System Settings, then General, then Software Update, then Update (or Upgrade) Now. Note, this assumes you are running Ventura. For older systems use "System Preferences" instead.
