macOS compatibility: Here’s the latest version your Mac can run

macOS compatibility: Here’s the latest version your Mac can run
Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Wondering which versions of macOS your Mac can run? We’ve put together a macOS compatibility checker that will show you what Macs the different versions of macOS and Mac OS X support, so you can tell what version you should be running on your Mac.

What Mac operating systems can my Mac run?

Apple releases a new version of the Mac operating system almost every year—but the new version of the Mac operating system will not support every Mac. Each year more and more Macs fall off the compatibility list and are unable to be updated to take advantage of the latest features.

The latest version, macOS 14 Sonoma, arrived on September 26. Read on to find out which Macs are supported by each version of the Mac operating system. For advice about installing Sonoma read: How to install macOS Sonoma on your Mac. To learn how to install the Sonoma beta read: How to install the macOS beta.

Can I install an older OS on my Mac?

Officially, the operating system that was available on your Mac at the time that you bought it is the oldest version of macOS that can run on that Mac. It’s likely that an older OS won’t include the necessary drivers for the hardware on your newer Mac. For this reason, it is unlikely that you will be able to install an older version of macOS on a new Mac—but you can take a look at how to install old versions of macOS or OS X for other Macs. Owners of Macs with M1 or M2 chips won’t be able to run older versions of macOS that weren’t designed for M1 Macs.

But it may not just be a case of wanting to know if your Mac can run the newest operating system. You might also want to know if it is possible to downgrade your Mac to an older version of macOS and need to know the oldest version of macOS. You’ll also find that below. You can also see a complete list of all the different versions of macOS and Mac OS X. Not sure which Mac you own? Check our article about how to identify your Mac.

Note: In each case, the year referenced below is the year that Mac was introduced–you could for example have bought a 2016 MacBook in early 2017, but it’s still the 2016 MacBook. This is important to keep in mind if you are looking to run an older version of macOS on a Mac. Macs are generally incompatible with versions of macOS that are older than the one it shipped with.

Will macOS 15 arrive in 2024?

Apple will preview macOS 15 during its annual WWDC keynote presentation on June 10. We don’t know which Macs will be compatible, but we assume some Intel Macs will be dropped, if not all of the remaining ones since it’s already been four years since the first Apple silicon Macs arrived. We expect all M-series Macs will be supported for at least another year.
