To update macOS, you can follow these general steps:

  1. Open System Settings: Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen and select "System Settings" (or "System Preferences" in older versions).

  2. Go to Software Update: In the System Settings window, find and click on "Software Update." This will check for any available updates for your macOS.

  3. Download and Install: If an update is available, you will see an option to "Update Now" or "Upgrade Now." Click on this option to download and install the update. You may need to restart your Mac to complete the installation.

For organizations managing multiple devices, Apple provides more advanced tools and features to manage software updates. According to the session What’s new in device management, IT teams can use Apple Business Manager and Apple School Manager in conjunction with third-party MDM solutions to enforce updates by a specific date and time, manage beta updates, and implement phased rollouts.

For more detailed information on managing software updates in an organizational environment, you can refer to the chapter on Platform updates in the "What’s new in device management" session.
