Same as PKCano, I always wait a while after a system upgrade comes out before installing it, to give the developers, at Apple in this case, time to find and fix the worst bugs, iron the biggest wrinkles, etc. Is that what you mean by “leapfrogging?”.

So, if Apple policies stay the same and regardless of the machine’s condition, when late 2021 brings a new version of macOS, the one after Catalina, will that mean the total and permanent end of all of Apple’s software support for my Mac? Will it become for ever impossible to upgrade to a newer version of macOs? It will not be the end of my using this Mac, of course, but it is something worth knowing for certain, all the same.ĭrBonzo: I upgraded directly from Sierra (the OS my MacBook Pro came with) to Mojave, skipping High Sierra, early this year. And is still going strong and likely to continue to be this way for quite a while yet. That will be just over four years after I bought this machine that, although an older model, was still factory-fresh at the time.

If I upgrade from Mojave to Catalina early next year, the Mac runs out of OS support around October 2021. So it runs out of hardware support in the middle of next year. I choose it (Apple was still selling them) custom-configured, because it still had those larger USB 2/3 ports, as well as an HDMI port and actual function keys, no that touchy-freely “Magic Toolbar”. I bought my Mac laptop in mid-2017, but it was already an older model that had come out in mid-2015. So, this is my question now: Is there some way to continue to upgrade the OS after early 2023, when Catalina should run out of support and my laptop’s hardware will be already out of support as well?

But I did not really have to buy a new machine with Windows XP until mid-2005, well after six years of its continuous use serving well my actual needs. For example, the first computer that was actually mine, a Toshiba bought in 1998 and running Windows 98, with 6 GB hard disk, become unable to cope properly with the rise of high resolution streaming, and the increasing “bloat” of needed applications, such as printers’ software. What happens after that? My computers have lasted, on average, more than six years before they become a poor fit to the way I did things with them, or the way things became different and too much for the old machines to work properly.
If, early next year,possibly I upgrade to Catalina (after waiting a few months after it first came out, as usual), that should give me some 2.5 years of OS support until late (possibly October) 2023, if I’ve understood correctly PKCano’s explanation. I have a MacBook Pro that came out in mid-2015, so it will run out of hardware support sometime in the middle of next year. So you are good for three years on your last version after the hardware is not eligible for a newer version. I think when the third version down the line comes out you need to upgrade or lose support. To answer you question about versions, you can skip versions. I think the later versions give you more security though. I don’t worry about all the new features, I just use the machines. But, if the latter go south, I just copy the last backup of the VM file back and I ready to go. Upgrade from High Sierra was effortless on all – not like Windows (any version these days)Īll are running Parallels with Windows VMs (14 among them: 2-XP, 4-Win7, 4-Win8.1, Win10 1803, 1809, 1903 and Insider). I think the older ones started with Mountain Lion, and I have upgraded each year (not always the first day or week, I wait a while)Īll are running Mojave now. Currently, I have:ġ3″ MacBook Pro (the one with the slot DVD player), Ivy Bridge dual core (4 threads) i7

That being the case, and since I’m currently suffering from patch overload on Windows machines, I find I’m having a lot of trouble generating any enthusiasm for updating from High Sierra right now.Īnyway, I’d be interested in any answers to the above questions anyone would provide, and also any upgrading insights folks might have. I currently have a MacBook Air running Mojave, and frankly, I don’t see any advantages to Mojave over High Sierra.
My understanding of the Apple support policy is that they don’t have one in writing, but typically support a given OS version for 3 years.ġ) Am I correct about the Apple support policy? Most importantly, after 3 years will there be no support at all for High Sierra?Ģ) Is it possible – or perhaps permissible is a better word – to ‘leapfrog’ an OS version?ģ) In terms of chances for successful, no drama upgrades would it be better to upgrade to Mojave now, and then upgrade to Catalina later, or just run High Sierra for a while and go directly to Catalina, skipping Mojave (assuming a ‘leapfrog’ is possible) The major user of this machine – not me – is happy with High Sierra and has no desire to upgrade to either Mojave or the about to be released Catalina.
