Learn how to upgrade to macOS Big Sur, the latest version of macOS.

Check compatibility

The version of macOS that came with your Mac is the earliest version it can use. For example, if your Mac came with macOS Big Sur, it will not accept installation of macOS Catalina or earlier.

If a macOS can't be used on your Mac, the App Store or installer will let you know. For example, it might say that it's not compatible with this device or is too old to be opened on this version of macOS. To confirm compatibility before downloading, check the minimum hardware requirements:

  • macOS Catalina 10.15 hardware requirements
  • macOS Mojave 10.14 hardware requirements
  • macOS High Sierra 10.13 hardware requirements
  • macOS Sierra 10.12 hardware requirements
  • OS X El Capitan 10.11 hardware requirements
  • OS X Yosemite 10.10 hardware requirements

Download macOS using Safari on your Mac

Safari uses these links to find the old installers in the App Store. After downloading from the App Store, the installer opens automatically.

  • macOS Catalina 10.15 can upgrade Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks
  • macOS Mojave 10.14 can upgrade High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion
  • macOS High Sierra 10.13 can upgrade Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion

Safari downloads the following older installers as a disk image named InstallOS.dmg or InstallMacOSX.dmg. Open the disk image, then open the .pkg installer inside the disk image. It installs an app named Install [Version Name]. Open that app from your Applications folder to begin installing the operating system.

  • macOS Sierra 10.12 can upgrade El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, or Lion
  • OS X El Capitan 10.11 can upgrade Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard
  • OS X Yosemite 10.10can upgrade Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion, or Snow Leopard

This guide deals with 3 ways of making a boot disk from macOS, the first one is the fastest and is done via the Terminal from a command in macOS called createinstallmedia, the other 2 are older ways are done with a mixture of finder using Disk Utility and command line.

The first way can support macOS Big Sur, macOS Catalina, macOS Mojave or macOS High Sierraand further back to SIerra, El Capitan, Yosemite and Mavericks.

Quickest Way

Download the macOS version you need but don’t install.

Attach your USB stick/drive.

Launch the Terminal from /Applications/Utilities and enter the command below and then your password when prompted, be sure to change the ‘Untitled‘ name in the below command to your external disk name:

Let it do its thing and there you have it, one bootable macOS drive.

This really is a super simple way – however if using the Terminal fills you with fear and dread, there are some GUI apps that can get the job done namely DiskMakerX and a new imaging tool that can clone a new disk very quickly – AutoDMG, although AutoDMG can not work with macOS Big Sur

Alternative Ways of building a Bootable macOS Disk.

An alternative way to make a boot disk of macOS (but not macOS Big Sur), first of all, get the app or download via the App store, if downloaded it will file in the folder Applications.

The example below uses OSX Mavericks.

Control / Left click Options, Show in Finder to get to the app, don’t install at this stage.

Located in the Applications Folder

Finding the InstallESD.dmg

To find the actual InstallESD.dmg file, control/left click the ‘Install macOS’ app and choose show contents – then navigate to Shared Support folder. Engineering mechanics 11th edition solution manual.

Control/Right click to show contents

Navigate to Shared Support folder to see the InstallESD.dmg file

Mount InstallESD.dmg

Double click to mount the image.

Make Invisible Files Visible

We need to see the BaseSystem.dmg inside the InstallESD.dmg

Crank open Terminal and run:

This will show all invisible files have a look inside the mounted InstallESD.dmg

Mount an External Disk

Attach a USB/external drive – this guide uses the external drive name called BootDisk, you need to make sure the format is correct, it needs to be Mac OSX Extended Journaled – if it’s not you can format that in Disk Utility.

Launch Disk Utility

Launch Disk Utility as found in Applications/Utilities and go to the Restore tab.

Drag BaseSystem.dmg to the Source field and your external disk to the Destination and click Restore.

This will mount your new macOS external disk and name it OSX Base System – but we need to add the packages.

Fix the Packages

Download mediatek usb vcom drivers mt6592 scatter. Couple of things to fix in the newly created boot disk, remove the Packagealias at System/Installation/ folder

Now from the previously mounted InstallESD.dmg copy over the Packages folder to the same location where we just removed the alias above.

Will take a while as it holds all the install packages.

Job done now you can boot from the OSX 10.9 disk.

Make the Visible back to Invisible

If you want all to return back to normal and hide the system files run a couple more commands in the Terminal

Copy the full OSX Mavericks Packages over to the new image….takes a while

And there it is! – to eject the new bootable USB OSX Mavericks 10.9 disk ‘cd’ to home and eject

Now you can boot up from your newly bootable disk and either Install OSX10.9 on another device or use the Terminal/Disk Utility or Firmware Password Utilities on another device.
