How to Download Older Versions of macOS for Windows Users

If you're a Windows user looking to install an older version of macOS on your computer, you may encounter some issues. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of downloading and installing older versions of macOS.

Firstly, it's essential to note that Apple usually doesn't allow newer Macs to run older versions of macOS. Similarly, if you're trying to download an older version of macOS that your computer cannot support, you may encounter issues.

To overcome these challenges, we suggest using an older Mac to download the installer via a link provided by us. This is a known issue that some users have faced, and we are aware of it.

Another common problem is when the link takes you to the correct page in the Mac App Store but displays an 'Update not found' error message. In this case, try using Safari instead of another browser, or close any existing instances of the Mac App Store before attempting to download.

If the above links don't work for you, there's an alternative method to download older versions of macOS on Intel-based Macs. Follow these steps:

1. Open the Monterey page in the Mac App Store using Safari.

2. Look for the 'Install macOS Monterey' app in your Applications folder.

3. Download the installer and do not click 'Install' immediately.

4. A message will appear asking if you're sure you want to download macOS Monterey.

5. Once downloaded, open Software Update with the words 'Finding Update'.

6. Follow the link to the Mac App Store on the Monterey page.

Despite Apple replacing Monterey with macOS 13 Ventura in October 2022, it's still possible to download the installer for Monterey from the Mac App Store.

By following these steps and using Safari as your browser, you should be able to successfully download an older version of macOS. If you encounter any further issues, feel free to reach out to us for assistance.
