OCLP Major macOS Release Checklist: What to Do Before Beta Season

OCLP Major macOS Release Checklist

Before every major macOS beta cycle, patched Intel Macs need a cautious plan so one click does not break a daily machine.

Checklist:

1. Back up now: Create a Time Machine backup and verify it can be browsed.
2. Save installers: Keep your current stable macOS installer and OCLP app.
3. Disable major auto-upgrades: Prevent beta or Tahoe-style prompts from installing unattended.
4. Read OCLP notes: Wait for OCLP release notes before upgrading.
5. Test externally: Use an external SSD for beta experiments, not your internal disk.
