This tip is part of a series of tips for : Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10,El Capitan System (10.11), Mac OS 10.2 Sierra
The official release date is September 20, 2016. Note, it no longer has 'X' in the official name.
You may find software compatibility sites already stating what is compatible with it. Do not trust those reports, until those reports are published after the official release of Sierra. Apple may elect to change features at the last second, as it has done on countless operating system improvements before. Note, download times may be longer than usual on first release. Backup (link explains how) your data before you install anything.
