Sequence of Mac OS X Progression from Yosemite

[Josephmhill2]

Howdy!

I have put off updating the Max OSx Yosemite and would like help understanding the most sensible approach on the installation of newer OS systems. Should I create the USB boot drive with El Capitan, install it on the SSD drive, then make a new USB Boot Drive every time with the next MacOS X that follows, ei Sierra, High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, Monterey, Ventura and then finally land on Sonoma? Or can I skip a all or few of the Mac OS X updates and go from Yosemite to Ventura for instance.

Thanks

Hello,
First, check if your hardware can run Ventura/Sonoma.
Before any "transitioning" make some tests ( for Ventura/Sonoma/apps etc) on a spare storage.
So, you can keep safe your original storage and "detect" any inconsistencies with the new environment

Keep studying.

Cheers
