| Aug 11, 2022 at 6:03 | comment | added | Gilby | @WGroleau The Macworld article has errors, mainly because it doesn't go into enough detail of Mac models (your MBP year being an example). I find MacTracker to be the fastest accurate way of answering these questions. Everymac is second best and Apple a distant third. But you got your answer, which is the main thing! | |

| Aug 11, 2022 at 4:23 | comment | added | WGroleau | MacTracker told me nothing unless I would download its app. EveryMac was the same thing that lhf cited (NOT the answer). So, I figured I'd just take your word for it. But then I stumbled on a page that does have the answer without having to install an app. macworld.com/article/673697/… But that page says no 2019 model can run Mojave. | |

About 1) macOS doesn't know future Macs, 2) VMware.
