How to install MacOS 26 on your MacBook (and which models support it)

Apple just announced MacOS 26, the latest version of its operating system for the Mac and MacBook, and it's packed with visual customization options, its new Liquid Glass design language, and some smart upgrades to the Spotlight feature that could be a serious game changer for productivity. 

While the full release of the new OS, nicknamed Tahoe won't be released until September, I don't blame you if you're champing at the bit to test out the new features on your Mac right now in the Developer Beta. Luckily, this is easy to do. You'll just need register as a developer and download the beta version onto your device.
