Is your Mac up to date with the latest version of the Mac operating system? Is it using the version required by a product that you want to use with your Mac? Which versions are earlier (older) or later (newer, more recent)? To find out, learn which version is installed now.
If your macOS isn't up to date, you may be able to update to a later version.
From the Apple menu in the corner of your screen, choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name, such as macOS Big Sur, followed by its version number. If you need to know the build number as well, click the version number to see it.
These are all Mac operating systems, starting with the most recent. When a major new macOS is released, it gets a new name, such as macOS Big Sur. As updates that change the macOS version number become available, this article is updated to show the latest version of that macOS.
If your Mac is using an earlier version of any Mac operating system, you should install the latest Apple software updates, which can include important security updates and updates for the apps that are installed by macOS, such as Safari, Books, Messages, Mail, Music, Calendar, and Photos.

You got a Mac! Welcome to the club!
Note: This is the Color Edition of 'You Got a Mac! Now What?'
Now that the joy is over, it’s time to get serious: how on Earth do you use this thing?!
Macs are obviously not Windows machines, so there’s a small learning curve. Nothing complicated, I promise.
The goal of this book (which is based off of Mac OS Catalina, 10.15) is to teach you the ropes, so you can start enjoying your new computer.
If you are looking for a thick doorstop of a book that covers things you have never heard of and will never use, then there are more comprehensive books out there. But if you are switching from Windows and just want to know how to use your computer, then I’m excited to help!
Are you ready to start enjoying the new Mac OS? Then let’s get started!
