Can I update my iMac from 2011?

To upgrade to High Sierra from Lion, you need to upgrade to Sierra first.

1. Get “Sierra” using this link: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683.
2. Download and install the update. Backup first!
3. Once in Sierra, download High Sierra using this link: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683.
4. Upgrade to High Sierra. Backup first!

Hi there,

The latest macOS version for your Mac is macOS High Sierra.

Cheers,

Jack

The maximum version of macOS a 2011 iMac can run is 10.13.6 High Sierra. If you are at that version then that’s as far as you can go.

So which version of macOS are you running right now?

Are you still downloading, or installing? The download from the Apple website I linked may take up to 1 hour.
