How to install macOS Ventura

macOS makes installing new versions easy. You can use your Mac while the new software is downloading, however, you won’t be able to use your Mac while it is installing. Sometimes, this can take a while, so make sure you set aside time for the process to finish. In order to install Ventura, you should have at least 20-30GB of space available. In order to install the latest macOS on your computer:

  1. Open System Preferences. You can go to the Apple  menu and click on System Preferences.
