Options for Mid-2007 iMac

One of my iMacs is an older mid-2007 with out-dated software. Safari is no longer installed, iTunes is the 12.2.2 version, and the OS is Lion 10.7.5. I'd like to get it upgraded to something that it could still run, although I understand it's probably not able to support any of the more recent OS software. If it's too old to use, can it be used as some sort of network server or other type of hub?


thanks...

If it is a mid 2007 iMac then you can upgrade it to Mac OS X El Capitan,

read the instructions from Section 4 to Section 7 and

understand them before going ahead.


This is an older OS, your mac cannot upgrade to the latest OS's

that have the latest security updates but you might want to

install.


Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac.


Check that third party apps you use have updates available for the new OS.
