Apple has released its newest operating system, macOS Sonoma.
Should I upgrade to Sonoma?
ITS does support this new OS. However, it is possible that not all of your applications are compatible with it. If you use any applications that are critical to getting your work done, make sure they are compatible with macOS Sonoma before you upgrade. You may need to look on the application’s website, or reach out to their customer support team.
Note: If you use GraphPad Prism you must upgrade the application to its newest version for it to work with Sonoma. GraphPad Prism has published an upgrade on their website.
Tips for a smooth upgrade

Do you have enough disk storage space? macOS Sonoma requires 25GB of free disk space to install. How to see used and available storage on your Mac
Before upgrading, save all your work and close all applications.
