Whether you’re waiting for some particular app compatibility, for a later release version of Sonoma, or are skipping Sonoma entirely, we’ll show you how you can install updates to macOS Monterey and MacOS Ventura, without installing the MacOS Sonoma upgrade.

We’ll cover this process on Monterey (and earlier, including Big Sur) first, and then the process on Ventura too, which is slightly different.

Great article and covers something I do as part of my job on a regular basis.

I have a text file with all the Mac App Store weblinks for all the old MacOS versions so I can upgrade users without upgrading to the latest macOS.
