Apple releases macOS Mojave

Announced during WWDC in June this year, Apple's macOS Mojave is now available as a free software update for Mac users. The new update should be available for most Mac models introduced in 2012 or later, and users will be able to upgrade directly from OS X Mountain Lion or later.

But before installing the update, it is recommended to back up the Mac using Time Machine or any other backup method available. macOS Mojave will need at least 2GB of memory and 12.5GB of available storage space to upgrade, or up to 18.5GB of storage space when upgrading from OS X Yosemite or earlier. The new OS can be downloaded from the 'Updates' tab in the Mac App Store. For compatible machines, the macOS Mojave will be listed at the top and clicking the update button should start downloading the file. Another option is to click on the Apple icon in the top left of the display, followed by 'About this Mac' and then clicking on Software Update button. This too opens the Mac AppStore. Once the download is finished, follow the prompts for installation. Here are some of the key updates and changes the new OS will bring to the machines.

Apple has completely redesigned the Mac App Store with macOS Mojave. There will be new app tabs for Create, Work, Play and Develop, highlighting new app suggestions, curated by the Mac App Store editorial team.
