How to Get the Public Beta Preview of Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan

Apple announced the release of their newest Mac OS X version at this year's Worldwide Developer's Conference, and it's called "El Capitan." Like the majestic rock formation it's named after (located within Yosemite National Park), El Capitan promises to emphasize and expand on some of the great features we used on 10.10 Yosemite.

If you can't wait to try out some of the new features coming this fall, like more intuitive Spotlight searches and improved window management, then sign up for the public Beta preview, which isn't exclusive to just developers.

How to Sign Up for the El Capitan Beta Preview
To start signing up for the Beta preview right now, visit the Apple Beta Software Program  page. Developers will be able to download and install El Capitan sooner using the Mac Developer Program.

Start by hitting "Sign Up," then enter in your Apple ID credentials and accept the agreement to join the OS X Beta Program. This will sign you up for both the iOS 9 and OS X 10.11 public Betas. Since not much else can be done until the Beta is actually released in July, that's essentially it... for now.

We'll definitely be keeping you up to date on the Beta and when it's made available, but also look out for an invitation email from Apple.
