Will I lose my files?

No - not if a backup exists, which is step one. We restore everything via Migration Assistant after the clean install. Photos, Mail, Documents and most app data come back exactly as before.

Which version of macOS will my iMac get?

Depends on year. iMac 2014: macOS Big Sur (last). 2015: Monterey. 2017: Ventura. 2019: Sequoia. 27-inch 2020 (Intel): Tahoe 26, the last macOS for Intel Macs. 24-inch Apple silicon iMacs (2021 and later): macOS 27. We confirm by serial number before starting.

Can you install macOS Tahoe on my old iMac?

Only if your iMac is on Apple's compatibility list. We won't install an unsupported OS via hacks (OpenCore Legacy Patcher) as a paid service - too unreliable. We'll tell you the truth about your machine's ceiling.

What if the install fails?

Usually means the SSD or Fusion Drive itself is failing. We then check storage health and recommend SSD replacement before retrying. Free re-attempt after the storage fix.

How long does it really take?

Same day - typically 2-4 hours including backup verify, install and data restore. Internet Recovery downloads the OS from Apple over our gigabit line, then install runs offline.

Should I do this myself?

If you're comfortable with backups and Disk Utility, yes - Apple makes it doable. We exist for people who want it done by someone who's done it 500 times and won't lose their data on the way.

Sometimes the right fix isn't a part - it's a clean operating system. An iMac that boots slowly, throws random kernel panics, can't complete a software update or has been through three or four major macOS upgrades over the years often just needs a fresh install. We back up first, install clean, and restore your data and apps after.

Different iMac models support different ceiling versions of macOS, and Apple drops models silently each year. A 2015 iMac is stuck at macOS Monterey. 2017 iMac runs Ventura. A 2019 iMac tops out at Sequoia, and the 27-inch 2020 is the only Intel iMac that takes Tahoe 26, the last macOS for Intel Macs. We check your serial first and tell you exactly which version you can install - there's no point promising the latest macOS to a machine that won't take it. We'll also give you a straight answer if your iMac is at end-of-life and won't see another security update.

Our process

How it works

Backup verify
We confirm a Time Machine or external clone exists. If not, we make one before anything else - non-negotiable.
Internet Recovery boot
Hold Option-Cmd-R at boot to install the latest macOS your iMac supports, or Shift-Option-Cmd-R for the version it shipped with (or the closest one still available).
Clean install
Erase the volume in Disk Utility (APFS), install macOS, set up baseline preferences.
Restore your data + apps
Migration Assistant brings back documents, photos, mail, settings and most apps from your backup. We help with the things Migration Assistant misses.
