Which Apple Mac File Should I Use?

Created by Soren Jordansen, Modified on Thu, 29 Jan at 4:50 PM by James Allen

It depends on what chip your Mac has.

Click the Apple menu in the top-left and choose "About This Mac". 


If you see a line that says Chip and it lists something like Apple M1 / M2 / M3 / M4 / M5, download the "Apple silicon" file. 


If you see Processor and it lists Intel, download the Intel file.
