  Subject: Re: Does the mac automatically update to the latest OS


  Good evening, if in the system preferences under software update if you set 
it to update automatically for major software upgrades it will just inform you 
that an update is available for your Mac. Then you will be given the choice to 
update now or update later. In addition the update screen will inform you if 
you must reboot your machine after the update completes. For some updates. Give 
it as a major update where a fresh copy of OS X must be installed it will 
mention to you that some of the updates that you just picked or more to the 
point the automatic update facility pics half to be downloaded before the 
update can proceed. At that point your machine will reboot when everything is 
finished downloading and it will boot into the recovery console to complete the 
OS upgrade. Please note while you are in them. You can use the very much 
slimmed-down version of VoiceOver to do such task is determining the progress 
of the software installation. Then when it nears completion in boots into the 
main working portion of the operating system, you will get a progress bar on 
the screen. During all phases of this system update meeting a major software 
revision it is probably a good idea to keep these two things in mind. One do 
not unplug the machine. To really don’t try to do anything major beyond 
monitoring the progress bar. When everything completes you will be prompted to 
login as normal. I hope this helps

    Hi guys
    I have a macbook pro! It recently updated, and I am wondering, does that 
mean it now is using the latest Mac OS? Catalina? How would I find out which 
mac OS I am running?
