that model CAN be upgraded to as recent as MacOS 12 Monterey, but the drive organization will be changed in the process. The first thing you need is a recent backup.


If you move to macOS 10.15 Catalina or later, NO 32-bit Apps are allowed, and many extensions will not load automatically. You may need more modern versions of popular packages.

In most cases, if you are already running 10.11 El Capitan or later, you do not need the added complexity of a bootable USB-stick installer. PROVIDED you have an adequate backup, you can double-click the installer icon after download.
