Now you’re ready to upgrade! Click “Upgrade Now” and then follow the prompts.

When Mac OS Ventura begins downloading, the progress bar will show an estimate of how long it will take. During the installation process, an Apple logo and a progress bar will appear on your screen. The installation might take a little while to complete, and some Mac computers might restart or the screen could dim. Make sure to leave your Mac alone while the installation completes.

When the upgrade is done, just log back into your Mac to use all the latest features! No need to worry about losing any of your data, it should all still be there.
