iMac7,1 - Need to upgrade to macOS v10.14 or later.

I keep getting “your iMac software is up to date”.

I am on iMac7,1.

Need macOS v10.14 or later.

What steps do I need to take?

Thanks in advance.

Your model ID indicates that you have a 20- or 24-inch mid-2007 iMac. That model is about 16 years old, and your iMac would have originally came with a version of Tiger (10.4) or Leopard (10.5).


El Capitan (10.11) is three major versions behind Mojave (10.14), and seven major versions behind Ventura (13).


It is old enough that even LibreOffice, GIMP, etc. have moved past it; though you may be able to find compatible older versions of those programs in their archives.
