What is macOS Catalina?

If your computer operates on OS X Mavericks or a subsequent version, you can proceed to install macOS Catalina. Your Mac must also possess at least 4GB of RAM and a minimum of 12.5GB of available storage space; however, if you're transitioning from OS X Yosemite or an earlier edition, you may require as much as 18.5GB of free storage. To take full advantage of the latest enhancements while preserving your Mac's security, stability, compatibility, and performance levels, it's crucial to keep your software up to date. Apple recommends that users consistently utilize the most current macOS version that is compatible with their devices. The earliest version of macOS that can be installed on your Mac is the one that was originally pre-installed. For example, a Mac that originally came with macOS Big Sur cannot be downgraded to macOS Catalina or any prior versions. If a specific macOS version isn't compatible with your Mac, the App Store or installer will notify you, indicating that the version either doesn't suit your device or is too outdated for the current macOS version. This proactive approach helps users stay informed about their system's compatibility and available upgrade paths. Regular updates not only improve functionality but also enhance the overall user experience by ensuring access to the latest features and security improvements.
