My very old macbook is very slow. It is also stuck with operating system 10.11.6. If I upgrade my hard drive, will I be able to update my operating system, too? I've upgraded the RAM in the past. Thanks!
MacBook, OS X 10.11
No. Upgrading the drive will not allow you to upgrade the OS beyond where you're at now (unless your machine IS compatible with a later version and the only reason you can't upgrade is lack of disk space).
That could be anything from a 2008 MacBook to a Mid 2012 MBP.
Assuming it's the 2008 aluminum MacBook. You've hit the end of the line.
It can't run anything higher than 10.11.6.
Thanks. How do I find out if my machine IS compatible with a later version? Its model Unibody A1278.
