Answered by Antonio Sutton

MacOS Big Sur is still supported by HMS. We understand the importance of maintaining information security and staying up to date with the latest software versions. As of now, macOS Big Sur is the current major release of macOS, and we will continue to provide support for it.

Supporting an operating system involves ensuring that it is compatible with our systems and applications, as well as addressing any security vulnerabilities that may arise. By keeping macOS Big Sur up to date, you can benefit from the latest security patches and improvements that Apple releases.

To check if you are using macOS Big Sur, you can follow Apple’s instructions. Generally, you can go to the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen, click on “About This Mac,” and you should see the version of macOS displayed. If it says “Big Sur,” then you are using the supported version.

It’s worth noting that Apple regularly releases updates to macOS, including both minor updates and major new versions. These updates often include important security fixes and feature enhancements. It is generally recommended to stay up to date with the latest version of macOS to ensure the best security and compatibility with other software.

However, it’s also important to consider the system requirements of newer macOS versions. Apple occasionally drops support for older Mac models with newer macOS releases. So, if you have an older Mac, it’s possible that it may not be compatible with the latest macOS versions. In such cases, you may have to continue using an older supported version or consider upgrading your hardware.

At HMS, we strive to provide the best support and security for our users. By keeping macOS Big Sur or upgrading to the latest supported version, you can ensure that you have the most secure and compatible environment for your work.
