Guidelines for Installing OS Upates (MacOS Mojave)

Image result for should i upgrade to macos mojave
Have you been wondering if you should upgrade your MacBook Airs to "Mojave"? We have been told by our trusty Technician Brandon has given us the A-OK as he has found there to be no major issues that I am aware of at this time. 

In order to avoid data loss and suffering, please be aware of the following: 
  1. This update generally takes up to OHE HOUR to install. Please plan to not have access to your laptop for at least TWO HOURS prior to installing the update. 
  2. DO NOT try to stop this update BEFORE it completes. Attempting to interrupt this (and any major system update) prior to completion will result in DATA LOSS, or an unusable system. 
  3. Laptop MUST be plugged into AC adapter PRIOR to starting update process. 
  4. Laptop can be connected to either WiFi OR Ethernet during update process. 
  5. Some older 32-bit (user-installed) apps may no longer function after the update. Generally, anything we've installed on your laptop within the past two years will work. If any of your applications fail to function afterward, we will assist you if an updated version is available. 
Post-install notes: Avoid enabling "two-factor authentication"

Choose "Set up later" when asked to sign in with your Apple ID

Choose "Light" OR "Dark" color scheme depending on your mood/personality.

When setting up "iCloud" after the install, un-check EVERYTHING except ''Find My Mac."
