Installera om Defender på min mac dator vyer 12.7.6 eftersom den hängt sig åtgärd krävs

Hello Inge,

Thank you for post to the Microsoft Q&A forum.

It sounds like you're trying to reinstall Microsoft Defender on a Mac running macOS Monterey 12.7.6, but the installer is prompting for macOS 13 or later which unfortunately means your current OS version isn't supported by the latest Defender release.

Here’s what you need to know:

• The current version of Microsoft Defender for Endpoint requires macOS Ventura (13) or newer.
• Your MacBook Air (2017) is capped at macOS Monterey 12.7.6, so it can't be upgraded to meet that requirement.

Since upgrading macOS isn’t an option for your device, here are a few alternatives:

Use a compatible security solution: Look into antivirus or endpoint protection tools that still support macOS Monterey. Many reputable options are available that meet Cyber Essentials standards.

Check for legacy Defender versions: While not officially supported, some older versions may still run on macOS 12.7.6. However, they might lack critical updates and features, so proceed with caution.
