How to update your Mac. Most Mac users don't need to install drivers for graphics cards, printers, or scanners because they are taken care of with operating system updates. To install a printer or scanner on your Mac, just plug it in. Update the software on your Mac, even the apps you didn't download from the Mac App Store. And then ensuring there's a tick in the box that reads Automatically Check For Updates, and the box. Open the Apple menu and select 'System Preferences.' You can turn on automatic updates for apps and system updates so that you never have to check for them yourself. This will help keep your software up-to-date and secure. You'll find the Apple menu in the upper-left corner of the screen.

• If your MacBook doesn't find a new update, a message will appear that says, 'Your Mac is up to date.' If it does find a new update, select Update Now to begin the update process. Depending on the size of the update, this can take a few minutes or up to an hour.
• Microsoft AutoUpdate. Mac users can safely update your Office for Mac software from within any of your Microsoft applications. To do this, open any Office for Mac app, and then go to the help menu and select 'Check for Updates'; this will open AutoUpdate. Office for Mac is set up by default to check for updates once in a while and notify.

Use Software Update

1. Choose System Preferences from the Apple menu , then click Software Update to check for updates.
   
2. If any updates are available, click the Update Now button to install them. Or click 'More info' to see details about each update and select specific updates to install. You might be asked to enter your administrator password.
   
3. When Software Update says that your Mac is up to date, the installed version of macOS and all of its apps are also up to date. That includes Safari, Music, Photos, Books, Messages, Mail, Calendar, and FaceTime.
4. To automatically install future updates, including for apps that you got from the App Store, select 'Automatically keep my Mac up to date.' Your Mac will notify you when updates require it to restart, so you can always choose to install those later.
