Now that Apple ships an OS X update every year, seeing that the company can still focus on performance improvements is great. With many under-the-hood improvements, it turns your Mac into a fast, reliable machine. In my experience, the update process from Yosemite wasn’t very long. Once this is done, download the 6GB El Capitan installer in the App Store and follow the instructions. Try to have at least two different backups, you don’t know what could go wrong. Make sure your Time Machine is up to date, clone your hard drive to an external hard drive, save your data to your favorite online file storage service.
Apple might as well use a queue system to ensure speedy downloads.īut first, backup your Mac. If you don’t see the update right away, don’t panic as it could take a few minutes due to App Store propagation. It’s available in the Mac App Store as a free download. The update is now rolling out to eligible Mac devices.
Apple has just released OS X 10.11 El Capitan.
