Updating OS Yosemite on mid 2010 macbook pro
Any help on deciding whether to update to sierra or high sierra from Yosemite? It seems that Apple says I can go as high as high sierra.
MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.10

A MacBook Pro from 2010 can upgrade to macOS High Sierra.
Installing a newer OS is called an upgrade.
Open Safari and click on this link,
How to get old versions of macOS – Apple Support
Go to Check Compatibility to see if your mac qualifies for the OS upgrade you want.
Then go to the Download OS section and click on the OS you want to install.
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'.
