![]() I want to update from macOS Catalina to macOS Big Sur on a supported MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014). I have replaced the keyboard only ONCE in that entire time. ![]() Yet System Preferences > Software Update shows Your Mac is up to Date - macOS Catalina 10.15.7. The App Store says macOS Big Sur Works on this MacBook Pro. When I click the GET button, System Preferences > Software. Both fans have been replaced and most recently I replaced the right side speakers as the woofer section had started to rattle. I upgraded the machine to Big Sur using a popular patching program along with an upgrade to the latest Broadcom WiFi/BT card (thanks to an enterprising young man) and am running 11.2 currently with no issues outside the ones that are plaguing even the newest MBPs. The logic board nor the display on this machine have ever faltered. This machine is fast, reliable and delight to use. ![]() While the new MBPs are lighter and have longer battery life, they hold little performance edge over this machine in my day to day use of the machine as INTEL has done little to really advance processors in a meaningful way over the years since this machine was designed. I am aware that eventually, I will have to break down and buy a new MBP. The new M series processors are a harbinger that the time for such a change is approaching sooner than later. Make sure there is enough space to download and install an update. However, I will never again own a computing device that will work as hard, as reliably, for such a long time as my trusty mid 2012 15" MBP.
