The APFS file system has been very unforgiving on spinners since Mojave and has gotten worse since. Have a Mac with a spinner hard drive in it? (Looking at you iMac and Mac mini users), I suggest you forget about Monterey. That will ensure your Mac can run Monterey just fine, won’t bog down just by loading up Facebook, and give you a few more years of fun use. 8 GB of RAM, the more storage space, the better, a mid or high-end graphics card and a processor that’s not a bottom of the barrel i5 but at least an i7. Take the system requirements and double them, at least, to keep having a fun Mac experience. These system requirements are for the OS only and do not account for all the additional resources you’ll need to run other software on top of that OS. Sure, it may run Monterey beautifully, but how will it run once it has Monterey and Safari with 15 tabs and iTunes and Mail and Messages and Discord running all simultaneously? It’ll run like a two-legged dog. It can run Monterey but should it? Historically systems that just meet the minimum requirements should stay away from the latest OS. Your Mac is a supported model, let’s say a 2015 MacBook Air, which has 4GB of RAM and 128GB SSD. There is no reason to assume Monterey’s RAM and storage requirements will be any different. Models aside, this is what these models need to have available at a minimum: Let’s use Big Sur’s complete system requirements and a year of experience as an example. Just because your Mac may be officially supported to run this new OS, does not always mean you should install that OS. If your Mac is one of the ones listed in the image above or newer, it can run macOS Monterey. This article aims to help you be just that! macOS Monterey system requirements Don’t be like Karen, be adequately prepared. This MacWorld editor “lives and breathes Apple” yet has no clue how to prepare for a macOS upgrade. Once it is released, you do not want to be caught off guard like Karen Haslam did last year.
Well, fall is here, and Monterey is expected to be released soon. “Coming this fall” is what the macOS Monterey product page states.
