Is it possible to upgrade this macbook pro (mid-2014)?
I have not had system updates available in APP store?
Getting a new Mac book pro means I cannot use Adobe Creative (CS5) I know it is old...but works for me. This Mac is in great working order.
Any help appreciated!!
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12
Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, click here, and then on the download link for a newer OS. That model's maximum one is Big Sur.
Catalina and higher won't run 32-bit software; download and use Go64 as well as using the first link above.

Please explain how your current Mac ¿which MacOS? is falling short of your expectations. Readers can help you develop an upgrade path that optimized your needs, balanced against the costs of various upgrades.

On careful analysis, some posters find that their best path forward is to continue to use the Mac and MacOS they currently have "until the wheels fall off". New shiny upgrades sometimes just "cost too much" in terms of what needs to be upgraded to "make it go".
I use Adobe CS5 (purchased in 2014) on the Mac book Pro 15 in. mid 2014. It seems I cannot upgrade and only to Big Sur. Using a wacom tablet in photoshop, all USB so would need to convert to thunderbolt. CS5 will not run on this computer, neither will Micro WORD, PPT, XL which I purchased in 2015. Those subscriptons are so over priced now.
upgrading is expensive, sometimes impossibly expensive. upgrading should never be an end in itself.
what does this setup FAIL to accomplish for you?
what else do you need it to do that it can not do without upgrades?
Most are not compatible so my concern is photoshop....which I purchased Creative suite. Does this mean I must go to subscription service and buy a new mac??
Thanks
