This retrieval typically involves obtaining a disk image file (.dmg) that contains the operating system’s installation data.
The availability of this acquisition route provided users with a crucial upgrade path for older hardware or software configurations. It offered enhanced stability, improved security features relative to earlier versions, and broader application compatibility at the time of its release. Access to this option was important for prolonging the usability of existing Mac systems and maintaining access to updated software ecosystems.
