How To Install macOS Ventura On Mac

In this tutorial, we will explain how to install macOS Ventura on a separate partition on Mac.

Apple has finally introduced the macOS Ventura at the WDCC 2022 event, and its public beta is already available for download. The good news is that you can install macOS Ventura on your Mac and run it along with another macOS version. To achieve this, we will have to partition the Mac disk, and in the first volume, the current macOS version will run. The newly created volume will run the macOS Ventura. Let’s see how to install and run macOS Ventura on a new volume on Mac. But first, we need to create a separate macOS Ventura volume.

Before installing the latest macOS version, we need to create a separate volume. This is necessary because macOS Ventura is still in the beta phase and bugs are present in it. These underlying bugs create several technical glitches, making the operating system unstable. In the developer beta phase, any operating system is not reliable, and you are likely to experience several app crashes.

To avoid such problems, it is sensible to install macOS Ventura on the second volume instead of the main volume. When successfully installed, the primary hard disk volume will have the stable macOS Monterey OS along with all the data stored on your Mac. The newly created volume will house the latest macOS Ventura.
