Download High Sierra, the highest your Mac can run.

- You may find you need to use Safari to get links for High Sierra and later using the Mac App Store application to open a functioning page.

- Upgrades may take some time (up to an hour or more) to install, with restarts and blank screens.


Before upgrading, back up at least your data in case something goes wrong. See this support document: How to back up your Mac - https://support.apple.com/mac-backup


Check if your old apps will still work with with the OS you want to install - https://roaringapps.com/apps
