Hi caren147,

If it helps, Apple has info. where you can find out what the newest operating system you can install is'.

(Tip: Keep scrolling way down to 2008 at the very bottom the page !)

(There is also a link to the correct online User Guide: if you want to look up about upgrading ?


Then there is info. on:

How to get old versions of macOS (... check compatibility ... downloading ' installing an upgrade)

Upgrading is Not an Option:

You can't - OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 is the latest macOS it can go to. So, perhaps it is time to upgrade to a new Mac?

Viewing the Compatibility:

  1. Go Here: How to Get Old Versions of macOS - Apple Support
  2. Scroll to: 2008
  3. View: Newest compatible operating system
