Every year, the guys from Cupertino launch a new version of macOS, a version that for a few years has been completely free for all users who have a compatible device. macOS Mojave is the latest version currently available, a version that It is not compatible with all computers that were released before 2012.
Each new version of macOS offers us a series of functions that in most cases, allow us to increase our productivity. Some of them require certain hardware characteristics, hence some are not available on all computers, so it is always convenient to know which version of macOS a Mac is running.
It is advisable to know it before starting to think about the system to check why a specific function does not work or is not available. Surely it is not the first time that you come across a case of this type, in which you explain over and over again how to carry out a process through a call but there is no way it works.
Checking which is the version of macOS is the first thing we should do, since it not only allows us to rule out if it is guilty, but also, shows us information related to the year of manufacture.
Knowing this date also allows us to know whether or not that specific function is available on that computer. Know what is the version of macOS that runs on a computer is a very simple process that we detail below:
- First, we head up to the apple located at the top left of the menu.
- By clicking on it, we select About this Mac.
- Then macOS version will be displayed, or OS X, which is running the computer. In addition, the year of manufacture of the Mac will also be displayed, which will help us quickly know if some functions are not available.
