To get the latest features and maintain the security, stability, compatibility and performance of your Mac, it's important to keep your software up to date. Apple recommends that you always use the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac.
The good news is that you can still run Mojave, but you will need to verify that the GPU installed in your Mac runs one of the following chipsets to be fully compliant with Mojave: AMD Radeon RX. As of this writing, all the models of MacBook Pro lineup available for purchase currently from Apple or any 3rd party resellers (13' or 15') can be downgraded to run macOS Mojave 10.14.5 or a later release, except the 16' MacBook Pro which cannot be downgraded to run macOS Mojave.

Check compatibility
If a macOS installer can't be used on your Mac, the installer will let you know. For example, it may state that your Mac doesn't have enough free storage space for the installation or that the installer is too old to be opened on this version of macOS.
If you want to check compatibility before downloading the installer, find out more about the minimum requirements for macOS Catalina, Mojave, High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan or Yosemite. You can also check compatible operating systems on the product ID page for MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, MacBook, iMac, Mac mini or Mac Pro.
Make a backup
Before installing, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac. Time Machine makes it simple, and other backup methods are also available. Find out how to back up your Mac.
Download macOS
It takes time to download and install macOS, so make sure you're plugged into AC power and have a reliable Internet connection.
These installers from the App Store will open automatically after you've downloaded them:

- macOS Mojave 10.14 can upgrade High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks or Mountain Lion

Your web browser will download the following older installers as a disk image called InstallOS.dmg or InstallMacOSX.dmg. Open the disk image, then open the .pkg installer inside the disk image. It will install an app named Install [Version Name]. Open that app from your Applications folder to start installing the operating system.

- OS X El Capitan 10.11 can upgrade Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion, Lion or Snow Leopard

Install macOS
Follow the onscreen instructions in the installer. It may be easiest to start the installation in the evening so that it can be completed overnight, if needed.
If the installer asks for permission to install a helper tool, enter the administrator name and password that you use to log in to your Mac, then click Add Helper.
Please allow installation to complete without putting your Mac to sleep or closing its lid. Your Mac might restart, show a progress bar or show a blank screen several times as it installs both macOS and related updates to your Mac firmware.

You may also be able to use macOS Recovery to reinstall the macOS you're using now, upgrade to the latest compatible macOS, or install the macOS that came with your Mac.
Hi Everybody!

Macbook Pro Can Download Mojave 10.14
When unplugged the USB Type C adapter, the WiFi is on again and the internet is running again, and happen for many times. For me, I dont want to afford a very expensive USB Type C adapter, I just bought the cheap one, when I know how to resolve the issue, I’m fine, when I’m not, I’m mad! XD
If you ask what USB Type C adapter I use is Orico USB Hub with 4 USB 3.0 port, I bought for only $10. When I plug to my Macbook Pro 2017 Base Model, the WiFi connection drop and cannot connect at all, refresh and refresh in my Safari browser, I’m so mad and I find the solution using Ethernet connection, yes buy another adapter!
I buy a cheap USB 2.0 Ethernet adapter that can be use too for MacOS, as written on the package and also 10 meter Ethernet cable. So I believe that. So, I take the easy way, I start to plug Ethernet cable to my Router and plug other side to Ethernet adapter, but it doesn’t work, for now. But when I know the installation is not very easy.
Until I realize when I take the packaging to throw it in the trash bin I find the CD Driver, What The Duck??? How I can use it when I don’t have CD/DVD slot in my Macbook! Ok, that is not a big problem, I find the Ethernet Adapter driver and you can get it here, you can download it.
