Download macOS Catalina DMG File For Clean Installation
Catalina DMG File is the latest build of Apple’s Mac operating system, version 10.15. Released in October 2019, it’s packed with plenty of new features Mac owners should love, like spreading cloud-based media across focus apps (bye-bye iTunes), second-screen support for iPads, support for iPad-like apps, and more.
Mac owners should consider upgrading to the latest version on a security level at the very least, just like Windows. And just like Windows 10, upgrading to the latest version is completely free. You can grab Catalina simply by loading the Mac’s App Store — the only cost is your time and bandwidth.
First, make sure your Mac can run Catalina. Apple provides a handy list of compatible Macs, but here we summarize the list:
- MacBook Pro from mid-2012 onward
- MacBook Air from mid-2012 onward
- 12-inch MacBook from early 2015 onward
- iMac Pro from 2017 onward
- iMac from late 2012 onward
- Mac Mini from late 2012 onward
- Mac Pro from late 2013 onward
