Since OS-X Mavericks (10.9) Apple have been releasing their OS X upgrades for free. This means if you have any version of OS X newer than 10.9 then you can upgrade it to the latest version for free. There are three ways you can upgrade.

1. Download the Installer from Apple directly to the computer that you want to install the new OS X onto.
2. Take your computer into the nearest Apple Store and they will do the upgrade for you.
3. Make a USB thumb drive installer that you can plug into your computer to upgrade it.

Method 1 is Apple's suggestion method, but if you have more than one computer it requires you to download the OS X update more than once. Method 3 gives you a thumb drive that you can use multiple times to install OSX, and you can even boot off it in an emergency if your hard drive crashes. It is very handy to have a bootable version of the latest OSX on a thumb drive lying around So I suggest option three

This article tells you how to make a USB thumb drive installer so you can upgrade any computer to the latest OS X.

It also tells you how to work out what is the newest version of OSX that you can run on your computer.

1. Look up what version of OS X your Macintosh can run.

Some older Macintosh computers won't run the latest version of OS X.

For example, the 2006 Mac mini 'Core Duo' 1.83 will only run up to System 10.6.8, while the the 2008 Apple MacBook Air will only run up to 10.7.5.

So before you go downloading it's good to check which version your computer is able to run. The folks over at everyMac.com have helpfully made a list of what the newest OSX that runs on every Mac model is. You can access that list here.

2. Update to the newest update of your OSX version.

(e.g. 10.6.8)

The major OS X versions have different names and numbers.

For example:

10.4: 'Tiger'
10.5: 'Leopard'
10.6: 'Snow Leopard'
10.7: 'Lion'
10.8: 'Mountain Lion'
10.9: 'Mavericks'
10.10: 'Yosemite'
10.11: 'El Capitan'

Within these major versions there are also smaller software updates. For example 10.6.1, 10.6.2 etc. These minor updates are simple updates and you just update them by going to the Apple menu and selecting ‘Software Update' or by going to the Apple menu, App Store and then ‘check for software update'.

Before you do a major update to a new version of OS X it is good to make sure that your current version is up to date because some installers require you to have an updated version of your current version. My laptop had Snow Leopard 10.6.5, but the ‘Mountain Lion' Installer I wanted to use needed 10.6.8 so I ran Software Update' and it upgraded to 10.6.8 first.

3. Download the Installer for the new version that you want

(e.g. 10.11 El Capitan)

The easiest way to get a copy of the installer for OS X is to go the Apple website or the App Store and type in the version that you want. I went to the ‘App Store' and typed in El Capitan and this was the first result that appeared:

All you need to do is click on the download icon and it will download to your computer. Chrome v76 download.

If you are looking for a version of OSX that does not appear on the App Store, you can find it in ‘Purchased' if you have downloaded it previously. In my ‘Purchased' tab of App Store I can see Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion ( even though I did not purchase them I simply downloaded them). Tf you have not downloaded it previously and you want an older version that is not the latest version, you may need to find a friend who has downloaded it previously and get it from there computer.

If you have a version of OS X that is older than 10.6 you will need to pay to upgrade to Mountain Lion (10.8) first because it is only versions later than 10.8 that are free. You can buy 10.7 or 10.8 at the Apple Store here.

4. Make a copy of the OS X Installer.

The installer will download to your ‘Applications' folder. If you run it from there, it will install the latest OSX but then it will delete itself. Given that these installers are huge files – 6 or 7 GB, it makes sense to save a copy so that if you ever need to install it on another computer you don't need to do the entire download again. This is especially the case if you have three or four different computers. You can use the same installer file on different computers. An iMac, a MacBook Air, a Mac Mini, a MacBook Pro all use the same OSX installer. So it is much faster and uses less of your Internet bandwidth to download the installer once and use it on your different computers via a thumb drive rather than downloading it four times.

To make a copy of the installer you simply need to click on it, hold the ‘option' key and drag it to your desktop. A green plus will appear to indicate that it will make a copy of the installer.

Hold down the option key while dragging installer to your desktop and a copy will be made.

5. Use DiskMaker X to make the installer USB drive.

Now that you have made a copy of the installer, grab an 8GB thumb drive, and download this program called Disk Maker X.

You can do this manually, and I have explained how here, but DiskMaker X automates the process and makes it a lot simpler.

Run Disk Maker X and it will ask you for the location of the Installer file. It will also ask you to choose your thumb drive. Show it where the installer file is, select your USB thumb drive, and it will make a bootable version of the OS X installer.

This maker X will ask you what version of OSX you want to make an installer for. Click on the version you want and then it will ask you for the installer file that you downloaded in step 3. It does the rest!

You might notice that the latest version of DiskMaker X only works with the latest three versions of OS X

If you want to work with a version of OSX older than Mavericks (e.g. 10.8 Mountain Lion) then you can download an older version of DiskMaker X from their website which works with the older installers.

6. Install OSX from the USB

Now all you need to do is take that USB thumbdrive, stick it in the computer that you want to upgrade, and double click on the icon that appears on desktop. The installation is automatic. This installer thumb drive is identical to the thumb drive that you would have if you purchased it from Apple.

So, you've decided to download an older version of Mac OS X. There are many reasons that could point you to this radical decision. To begin with, some of your apps may not be working properly (or simply crash) on newer operating systems. Also, you may have noticed your Mac's performance went down right after the last update. Finally, if you want to run a parallel copy of Mac OS X on a virtual machine, you too will need a working installation file of an older Mac OS X. Further down we'll explain where to get one and what problems you may face down the road.

A list of all Mac OS X versions

We'll be repeatedly referring to these Apple OS versions below, so it's good to know the basic macOS timeline.

STEP 1. Prepare your Mac for installation

Given your Mac isn't new and is filled with data, you will probably need enough free space on your Mac. This includes not just space for the OS itself but also space for other applications and your user data. One more argument is that the free space on your disk translates into virtual memory so your apps have 'fuel' to operate on. The chart below tells you how much free space is needed.

Note, that it is recommended that you install OS on a clean drive. Next, you will need enough disk space available, for example, to create Recovery Partition. Here are some ideas to free up space on your drive:

• Uninstall large unused apps
• Empty Trash Bin and Downloads
• Locate the biggest files on your computer:

Go to Finder > All My Files > Arrange by size
Then you can move your space hoggers onto an external drive or a cloud storage.
If you aren't comfortable with cleaning the Mac manually, there are some nice automatic 'room cleaners'. Our favorite is CleanMyMac as it's most simple to use of all. It deletes system junk, old broken apps, and the rest of hidden junk on your drive.

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.9 (free version)

Download CleanMyMac for OS 10.10 - 10.14 (free version)

STEP 2. Get a copy of Mac OS X download

Normally, it is assumed that updating OS is a one-way road. That's why going back to a past Apple OS version is problematic. The main challenge is to download the OS installation file itself, because your Mac may already be running a newer version. If you succeed in downloading the OS installation, your next step is to create a bootable USB or DVD and then reinstall the OS on your computer.

How to download older Mac OS X versions via the App Store

If you once had purchased an old version of Mac OS X from the App Store, open it and go to the Purchased tab. There you'll find all the installers you can download. However, it doesn't always work that way. The purchased section lists only those operating systems that you had downloaded in the past. But here is the path to check it:

1. Click the App Store icon.
2. Click Purchases in the top menu.
3. Scroll down to find the preferred OS X version.
4. Click Download.

This method allows you to download Mavericks and Yosemite by logging with your Apple ID — only if you previously downloaded them from the Mac App Store. Access android storage from mac.

Without App Store: Download Mac OS version as Apple Developer

If you are signed with an Apple Developer account, you can get access to products that are no longer listed on the App Store. If you desperately need a lower OS X version build, consider creating a new Developer account among other options. The membership cost is $99/year and provides a bunch of perks unavailable to ordinary users.

Nevertheless, keep in mind that if you visit developer.apple.com/downloads, you can only find 10.3-10.6 OS X operating systems there. Newer versions are not available because starting Mac OS X Snow Leopard 10.7, the App Store has become the only source of updating Apple OS versions.

Purchase an older version of Mac operating system

You can purchase a boxed or email version of past Mac OS X directly from Apple. Both will cost you around $20. For the reason of being rather antiquated, Snow Leopard and earlier Apple versions can only be installed from DVD.

Buy a boxed edition of Snow Leopard 10.6
Get an email copy of Lion 10.7
Get an email copy of Mountain Lion 10.8

The email edition comes with a special download code you can use for the Mac App Store. Note, that to install the Lion or Mountain Lion, your Mac needs to be running Snow Leopard so you can install the newer OS on top of it.

How to get macOS El Capitan download

If you are wondering if you can run El Capitan on an older Mac, rejoice as it's possible too. But before your Mac can run El Capitan it has to be updated to OS X 10.6.8. So, here are main steps you should take:

1. Install Snow Leopard from install DVD.
2. Update to 10.6.8 using Software Update.
3. Download El Capitan here.

'I can't download an old version of Mac OS X'

If you have a newer Mac, there is no physical option to install Mac OS versions older than your current Mac model. For instance, if your MacBook was released in 2014, don't expect it to run any OS released prior of that time, because older Apple OS versions simply do not include hardware drivers for your Mac.

But as it often happens, workarounds are possible. There is still a chance to download the installation file if you have an access to a Mac (or virtual machine) running that operating system. For example, to get an installer for Lion, you may ask a friend who has Lion-operated Mac or, once again, set up a virtual machine running Lion. Then you will need to prepare an external drive to download the installation file using OS X Utilities.

After you've completed the download, the installer should launch automatically, but you can click Cancel and copy the file you need. Below is the detailed instruction how to do it.

STEP 3. Install older OS X onto an external drive

The following method allows you to download Mac OS X Lion, Mountain Lion, and Mavericks.

1. Start your Mac holding down Command + R.
2. Prepare a clean external drive (at least 10 GB of storage).
3. Within OS X Utilities, choose Reinstall OS X.
4. Select external drive as a source.
5. Enter your Apple ID.

After the download is complete, your Mac will prompt you to do a restart, but at this point, you should completely shut it down. Now that the installation file is 'captured' onto your external drive, you can reinstall the OS, this time running the file on your Mac.

1. Boot your Mac from your standard drive.
2. Connect the external drive.
3. Go to external drive > OS X Install Data.

Locate InstallESD.dmg disk image file — this is the file you need to reinstall Lion OS X. The same steps are valid for Mountain Lion and Mavericks.

How to downgrade a Mac running later macOS versions

If your Mac runs macOS Sierra 10.12 or macOS High Sierra 10.13, it is possible to revert it to the previous system if you are not satisfied with the experience. You can do it either with Time Machine or by creating a bootable USB or external drive.
