Hi Brian, Thank you for the wonderfully detailed directions to upgrade to Sonoma .. I have done so successfully / without issues! I just want to ensure anyone reading above knows you meant "Sonoma" and not "Sequoia" in your instructions (Steps 3, 4, 5 & 6) .. I knew you meant Sonoma .. so I went with that based on your second paragraph in your reply. Truly appreciate your help and giving me confidence in doing this upgrade without worry. Sandy

Hi Brian, I have read through this forum trying to find an answer before asking what I'm sure has been asked before, but no luck. I have attached my MBP specs in screen shot. I have a MacBook PRO 2021 M1 with 64 GB of Ram and 1 TB disk (about 600 GB free and I will free up more before upgrading). I need to upgrade but I'm not sure if I should jump to the latest Sequoia 15.5 or go with Ventura 13 or Sonoma 14. I use PS and have not gone to latest version .. still using PS 2024 or 2023, I want to begin using Final Cut Pro for video edits (it's not compatible with Monteray) and I also use Pixnub/SPA, PhotoMechanic, Evoto, LR Classic (cannot go higher due to compatibility with Monteray) - I'd say those are my most critical apps in my workflow. I'm not in the market for a new MAC. What OS version would you recommend ? If it's not Sequoia 15.5, I need to know how to upgrade to a different version .. my only choice seems to be "upgrade now" which doesn't let me choose a specific OS, only Sequoia 15.5. Thank you in advance! Sandy
