How can I get IMovie if I am not able to update my 2011 MACbook? So I have a 2011 Macbook pro my current OS is High Sierra 10.13.6 and I was looking to get imovie from the app store. When I click get > install app it says "iMovie can’t be installed on “Mick's SSD” because macOS version 10.14.6 or later is required." Looking at my computer it cannot be updated any further then where it is now. I attempted to try download older versions of IMovie from apples archives but it says that I can't because I need the original versions of either v 9 or 10 (which both are not provided). Is it possible to get Imovie safely from apple or are they doing there usual of making their customers old devices obsolete so they have to buy new products? thanks

Hi,

If you can upgrade your operating system to High Sierra, or Mojoave, you can get current iMovie 10.1.12.

This Apple support link discusses the requirements for High Sierra and you can also find out whether you can upgrade to Mojave:
