Upgrading to a new OS is always exciting\u2014almost like getting a new computer without actually having to buy one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re thinking about upgrading to Big Sur, here\u2019s what you need to know to make the transition easy and efficient.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before upgrading to Big Sur<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before upgrading or installing any new OS, you should always take a few standard precautions. We\u2019re focusing on Big Sur since it\u2019s the most recent OS release, but these recommendations apply to Macs as well as PCs. Keep the following do\u2019s and don\u2019ts in mind so your next OS upgrade is seamless.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check for compatibility with Big Sur<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t assume your computer is automatically compatible with Big Sur. Apple-designed Big Sur to work on specific Mac models. Here\u2019s a list of the compatible computers:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iMac (2014 and later)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">iMac Pro (2017 and later; all models)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MacBook (2015 and later)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MacBook Air (2013 and later)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">MacBook Pro (Late 2013 and later)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mac Mini (2014 and later)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mac Pro (2013 and later)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Decide on an update or a clean install<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two methods for upgrading your computer to Big Sur. Both work fine, but there are some significant differences. The choice is up to you, but you should decide <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">before <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">you start the upgrade process.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first method is to update your existing OS. Updating keeps all your files and programs as they are and simply upgrades the OS. Nothing more. Updating is faster, easier, and by far the most popular method to get Big Sur.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your other choice is to completely wipe your computer by doing a clean install. A clean install wipes everything from your device, including all your personal files, installed programs, and registry. With a clean install, you start fresh. If you don\u2019t clean out your computer very often, this might be the best choice for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Back up your Mac before installing Big Sur<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you\u2019re installing Big Sur via an update or a clean install, backing up your data is an absolute must. Back up to an external hard drive or some other type of flash memory, as well as a cloud-based storage solution.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean up your Mac<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before upgrading your OS to Big Sur, take the time to go through your old files and remove anything you don\u2019t need. Do the same for your software. Uninstall anything you no longer use and update the apps you plan to keep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully, you already conduct routine backups, so doing one more before the install will be quick and efficient. Either way, check your backup or Time Machine to make sure a recent version of your files is available before installing Big Sur.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your drive<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Go to the applications menu and run Apple\u2019s Disk Utility. Run the First Aid tool on your startup volume as well. These drive checks identify errors within the hard drive components. Finding and removing these errors before the update will help ensure Big Sur installs smoothly.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have your passwords accessible\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Where do you keep your passwords? In your mind palace, on a sheet of paper or in a spreadsheet? You\u2019ll definitely need your passwords during and after your upgrade, and the middle of an OS upgrade is not the time to realize you don\u2019t remember them. Avoid getting locked out of your shiny new operating system by keeping your login credentials handy!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Research Big Sur<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re on the fence about installing a new OS, you aren\u2019t alone. Many users wait a few months before trusting a new OS enough to upgrade. If this describes you, visit the online Apple forums to see what others are saying about their experience with Big Sur. Usually, their testimonials and advice will guide you to either install the next OS\u2026 or convince you to stick with what you know.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What to do after upgrading to Big Sur<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As with any update or software upgrade, anything and everything can and often does go wrong. If you\u2019re having trouble with your new Big Sur OS, follow these tips.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DON\u2019T<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toss your backups<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep the backups you made before installing Big Sur for a few weeks. After completing the install, check if your files and apps are where you left them. Make sure none of your data is corrupted, and get on a new backup schedule right away.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Holding on to the backups buys you time to go through all the growing pains of a new OS and guarantees you\u2019ll have access to everything you need.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ignore updates<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mac regularly releases operating systems updates. The most recent update for Big Sur, for example, was released on March 8, 2021. For any OS to operate as intended, stay on top of updates and schedule them as soon as you\u2019re able.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DO<\/span><\/h3>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Uninstall if necessary<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve followed all our advice and still aren\u2019t having a successful experience with Big Sur, you have the option of uninstalling and restoring your previous OS. As always, before you make any major changes to your computer, back up your data. If you\u2019ve struggled to access your information on Big Sur, you should still have the backup created before the install.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Neem contact op met DriveSavers<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re having trouble accessing your information on Big Sur, or any Apple OS, we can help.\u00a0 We will perform data recovery if the update fails and the backup wasn&#8217;t made or failed <\/span><a href=\"\/nl-nl\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Contact DriveSavers for a free shipping label and evaluation!!<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-2\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Big Sur is the latest operating system (OS) from Apple, and users are loving it!
