Update from macOS Big Sur public Beta to official release

Release Candidate 2 is equivalent to the actual final release. You should install it, then un-enroll from the beta program. When a future version of Big Sur is released, you will not be given betas and will go directly to the final release. Click "Details" to be given the option to stop receiving beta updates.

You may be prompted to install another update after un-enrolling. If you do, this ensures you're on the public release.


The public beta FAQ covers how to de-enroll from beta builds.

See the Support section.

At any time, you may unenroll your device so that it no longer receives these updates. Then, when the next version of commercial software is released, you can install it from iOS Software Update, the Mac App Store, tvOS Software Update or watchOS Software Update.
