MacOS Monterey, Apple's newest Mac operating system, arrived Monday. The software, also known as MacOS 12, will run on the new laptops announced at Apple's event last week -- both the 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro. The OS was first unveiled at Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference in June and includes new features like Universal Control, AirPlay and a bunch of updates coming to iOS 15 like spatial audio in FaceTime

Whether you installed the MacOS Monterey public beta, or are planning to install the final version, you'll need to have a compatible device. And while the Windows 11 rollout has been full of confusion over which devices will be able to run it, Apple's compatibility list is far more straightforward.
