2011 MacBook Pro - Need to Upgrade to newest possible Version

Hello Folks,


I have a 13" MacBook Pro (2011) model. It runs OS X Yosemite (version 10.10.5). 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7; 4GB memory.


I would like to know what is the newest Operating System/version that I can upgrade to with my older Macbook Pro, and the price please.



Thanks

I think the most you can run is Sierra/High Sierra


To check the model number hold down the option/alt key, go to the Apple menu and select System Information.


macOS 10.12/10.13 (Sierra/High Sierra) requires one of the following Macs:


MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or later)  Model 6.2 and higher


Mojave requires the following.


MacBook Pro introduced in mid 2012 or later

Also check to make sure there is a compatible driver for your printer.




Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.
