Any reason to upgrade from El Capitan to High Sierra?

I have a mid 2009 Mac Pro and I'm running El Capitan. High Sierra is not supported. Is there a workaround to upgrade to High Sierra and are the benefits worth the trouble to upgrade? Any help is greatly appreciated

You may be able to download the installer for macOS Sierra 10.12.x from Apple, there is a direct link;

but should probably read the article. (There's also a link to Mojave, too; which won't help your mac.)

Direct link to get the installer only:

Get macOS Sierra 10.12


Make sure to have at least one backup; helps also have Time Machine backups, too. Clones are good.

Good luck & happy trails!🌞
