Upgrading to a major new version of an Apple operating system isn’t something to do lightly. The upgrade process may consume precious time, you may need new software, and you’ll have to learn what’s new. Despite these challenges, we always recommend that you upgrade.

What happens if you don’t update your Mac?

No really, if you don’t do the updates, nothing happens. If you’re worried, don’t do them. You just miss out on new stuff they fix or add, or maybe on problems.

What happens if I upgrade my Mac OS?

Generally speaking, upgrading to a subsequent major release of macOS doesn’t erase/touch user data. Pre-installed apps and configurations too survive the upgrade. Upgrading macOS is a common practise and carried out by lot of users every year when a new major version is released.
