I have a min 2010 Macbook (not a pro) - the thick white one...it is running el capitan, 10.11.6. Is there a way to update/upgrade this machine? I need to use this for work for a while- I just can't afford to replace it just yet. I have upgraded the ram to two 2gb cards. I have wiped all documents and photos off of it to help... Can I upgrade the actual hardware in it inexpensively?
iMac, OS X 10.11

The other specs you've not provided may or not
be OK, for this system requires more resources.
Also the hardware may be marginal too; a newer
Mac OS of this caliber would want APFS+ format.
