Need to upgrade my 2010 iMac 11,3 to Sierra OSX 12.x

I've got an iMac 11,3 running Yosemite (10.10.5). How can I upgrade to Sierra?

When I go to the App store and check upgrades, it says none are available.

When I try to install El Capitan, I get: "This version of OS X 10.11 cannot be installed on this

computer."

Am I out of luck?

Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download High Sierra from the Mac App Store.
