Universal Control is perhaps one of the biggest updates, allowing a single mouse, trackpad, and keyboard to be used across multiple Macs and also the iPad for moving content between devices. Compared to macOS Big Sur, macOS Monterey is a smaller update, but there are still many notable new features that improve the Mac experience. Now you know.MacOS 12 Monterey, unveiled in June 2021 at WWDC, is a previous version macOS that was released on October 25, 2021. Just one more thing: Internet Recovery seems to be renamed to macOS Recovery. If you have an older operation system installed, “cmd + alt + R” just starts the old Internet Recovery and installs the original macOS or OS X version. Just use the new shortcut with the Shift key in it.īe aware, that you need to have Sierra 10.12.4 to make use of the new shortcuts.
Apple did not forget the situations tought, in which you need an older version. Internet Recovery has become a lot more comfortable now that you can directly install the newest version. You will also download the operation system via the internet, but you will get the version the Mac came with originally. This new shortcut with Shift key is the old version so to speak. In our case, we could directly download Sierra. This shortcut starts the Internet Recovery (as before) but is configured now to download the newest available software. This is exactly as before and you just get the installed version again. The installation starts from a recovery partition on the SSD or hard drive though. If you press this two keys during the boot process, you can reinstall macOS.
We tried it with a MacBook Pro Retina 2014. This has changed as Apple tweaked the shortcuts a bit. That was often more complicated than it should have been. After the installation you had to update to the newest one. Up to this time you could only install the version directly, that came with your Mac. Via Internet Recovery it is possible to install the operating system from scratch. Often wished for, finally made possible by Apple: From now on you can use Internet Recovery to install the newest available macOS version.
