What if your MacBook no longer receives macOS updates?

Do you have an older or refurbished MacBook and don't you receive new updates anymore? You can still keep using your MacBook, but you won't have access to the latest functions. You still receive security updates, but these also stop after a few years. As soon as you don't receive security updates anymore, we recommend you upgrade to a new MacBook.
