Vw 2025 requires macOS 13 or newer

[rDesign]

I wish that the macOS system requirements for Vw2025 had been released earlier – when downloading the installer, I just saw that macOS 13 (Ventura) is the minimum system macOS. 

 

Because I have an older MacBook Pro, I've been running a few macOS versions behind (currently 12.7.6 Monterey). I just read on Apple's website that my 2016 MacBook Pro is too old to run macOS 13 Ventura. 

 

So in order to run Vw2025 (which I have already paid for), I now also need to buy a new computer. Frustrating. 

 

Guess I can't use Vw2025 until then.

 

Rant over.

Although it's not officially supported, I've been testing this entire 2025 development cycle on 12.7.5 and haven't run into any obvious issues. I can't guarantee that you won't encounter anything, but I don't want this to stop you from giving 2025 a spin!

I wish it would be part of a Warning by the Installer ....

Thank you - that's good to hear! I went ahead and am currently installing Vw2025 on 12.7.6. Fingers crossed.

 

The installer did not give me any warning that my macOS is incompatible, so I'll be disappointed in the installer if it fails to work.

I’m still on Monterey and 2023/24 has been running smoothly, not really interested in rocking my boat yet by installing a new OS.  You pioneers can have the glory, just watch out for getting arrows in the back 😉

Are you getting your crossbow ready?

LOL, no way.  I depend on you pioneers to clear the trail.

I'm essentially working in 2023 and hope to skip to 2025 in 3-6 months... as long as you pioneers make it 🙂

I'll probably be part of the second wave.  I have a CD set I need to get out the door and switching midstream is way too risky.  I thought I'd play with it a bit in the meantime, but decided to uninstall it to avoid any potential risks.
