Hello,
I have a late 2011 macbook pro with 10.7.5 OSX Lion.
When I try a search for an update there is none available.
Is there an alternate way to make an upgrade to Catalina or at least High Sierra?
specs:
macbook pro 13-inch, late 2011
Processor 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7
memory 4GB 1333MHz DDR3
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5
Thanks,
MacBook Pro

Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac.
Check that third party apps you use have updates available for the new OS.
Check that your printers/ scanners etc have updated drivers and software available for the new OS.
Connect your mac to your router via cable rather than rely on WiFi.
Do not use your mac while it is downloading
and do not use any other devices that share the same internet connection.
If the App Store says ‘Open’ then it is detecting a previous download of the install app
go to the Applications folder locate Install macOS High Sierra.app.
Move it to the Trash, empty the Trash.
Restart, click on the link again, the App Store should say ‘Get' or 'Download'.

new versions does not show up as updates but as new versions in app store
your macbook pro is too old for catalina https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT210222
but you should be able to install High Sierra though 4GB is a bit on the low side so things could get slow
Is it worth trying an upgrade of my late 2011 macbook pro from mountain lion 10.7.5 to Catalina?
