With your Mac safely backed up, you can now check to see if macOS Sierra is ready to be installed. Launch the App Store on your Mac and in the search box type in macOS Sierra.

When the macOS Sierra update appears, click on 'Download' and if needed, enter in your Apple ID and password. You can see the progress of the download from the 'Purchases' tab.

When the download as finished an installer will appear to take you through the process of installing macOS Sierra.

If macOS Sierra hasn't appeared in the App Store, then you may have to wait until later on today for Apple to make the update available. If you really can't wait, read on to find out how to download the final release candidate.

I need to upgrade my Mac hardware (stock mid 2012) since it is acting so slow. Does anyone know if the OS will have any conflict with my potential upgrades in the future

I like to update fresh (full wipe/reinstall) but won't have time for a while to do it. :francis:

Like changing the RAM from 8-16? Or an SSD. I think you'll be ok. Not 100% sure. Can't imagine why it'd be a problem though.

RAM and SSD, I read somewhere that Apple was trying to prevent people from upgrading their old Macs by setting up some difficulties within the new OS upgrades. It sounded like bullshyt to me though, because I don't understand how that would even work. But then again I am not extremely tech savvy.

Not sure. I'll do some research but that'd be bullshyt. I rock my MacBooks for like 6 years at a time.

I'm gonna wait until my coworkers update before I do, can't take any chances with software breaking and there being no immediate fixes.
