![]() ![]() I suspect Migration Assistant would struggle with such a big leap. I need to upgrade most software anyway, and setting up my mail accounts and simply transferring data is something I happily do myself. I wonder whether it is in my case useful at all to use Migration Assistant. So, I’m jumping straight from El Capitan to either Big Sur or Monterey, and skipping quite a few Mac OS X / macOS releases. Regarding Migration Assistant: I am currently on an Early 2009 iMac (iMac9,1). ![]() However, in case Monterey is installed I will follow your instructions and upgrade right away to 12.0.1. It still might have Big Sur installed (which I would prefer, I’m happy to leave dealing with any possibly serious bugs in Monterey to others once those are fixed I would gladly upgrade myself). I have ordered a new 24-inch M1 iMac, which should arrive no later than the first week of November. Thanks to Pico and John for helping me to get all the details correct. This is the colour version of my updated compatibility chart: I believe that’s an oversight, and it’s definitely available on the M1 MacBook Air, and may also be available on some Intel models too. One oddity remains: according to that list, Low Power Mode isn’t available on any MacBook Air. Object Capture, which needs apps to be able to use it, is available on all M1 Macs, and on Intel models which have at least 16 GB RAM and 4 GB VRAM.ĪirPlay is available on older Macs which are supported by Monterey, but at lower quality: Apple explains that Mac models may share content at a lower resolution to supported Mac models when “Allow AirPlay for” is set to “Everyone” or “Anyone on the same network” in Sharing preferences.Īpple provides a detailed listing of features and their availability on different Macs. Spatial audio is only supported by certain sound input/output devices: “Mac models (2020 or later) with the M1 chip using internal speakers, wired headphones or AirPods Intel‑based Mac notebooks (2018 or later) using internal speakers or wired headphones and Intel‑based iMac (2018 or later) using wired headphones”. Two others have more complex requirements. Just three – FaceTime Portrait mode, Maps Interactive Globe and city experiences – are only available on M1 models.
