When you upgrade to macOS Mojave, you’ll get a host of new features inspired by its most powerful users but designed for everyone. Dark Mode keeps you focused while you work. Stacks makes organizing your files easier than ever. Screenshot controls are now one simple shortcut away. And we’ve introduced three handy new apps: Stocks, Home, and Voice Memos. Best of all, upgrading is free and easy.
Mac computers with Metal-capable graphics processors (GPUs) can be upgraded to macOS Mojave.
Before you upgrade, we recommend that you back up your Mac. Then, if your Mac is running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8 or later, you can upgrade directly to macOS Mojave.
Visit the macOS Mojave page on the App Store. Click the download button and follow the onscreen instructions to begin your upgrade.
