Upgrade to macOS Big Sur

Apple Macintosh Instruction Manuals (User Guides) As per reader requests, direct links to official Apple Macintosh instruction manuals in PDF format - hosted by Apple's own support site- are provided below as well as on the specs page for each G3 and newer Mac. Update, My system updates is suggesting I go straight to Catalina, so I disabled automatic OS updates (will wait a while until the bugs are worked out), I did see in small print within the update area 'another update is available' and it is 10.14.5 (skipping other released updates available for download and installation for Mojave). Launch Disk Utility, then select the disk you’d like to partition from the list and click Partition. Click the + button, then choose a size for the partition using the pie chart (you’ll need at least 4.8GB for Mojave). Name the partition, then click Apply.

Before installing this upgrade, make sure that your Mac is ready.
