PS:

And by looking to MacTracker across wide spread of hardware,

the actual device is older MacBook Pro (13-inch, Late 2011) and

somehow the name and details of About this Mac are incorrect!


The item identifies best with:

Introduced October 2011

Discontinued June 2012

Model Identifier MacBookPro8,1

Model Number A1278

EMC 2555


Memory Slots 2 - 204-pin PC-10600 (1333 MHz) DDR3 SO-DIMM


..So the last macOS that can be run there, is High Sierra 10.13.6..

Good luck and in any event, stick to that last macOS!🌞
