How to update El Capitan to High Sierra

Hi all. I want to update my MAC 2011 from El Capitan to High Sierra in order to run Office 365 but I can't find a lint in App Store to High Sierra. Now all links lead to Catalina which can't be installed in my Mac.


iMac 21.5", OS X 10.11

Use a USB Bootable Installer:


First: Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support


Then...


Install with a USB Bootable Installer. Go here, and select the code for High Sierra (macOS 10.13). Use a USB Flash Drive of 16GB for this. The Link: How to create a bootable installer for macOS - Apple Support. Use another Mac to create this Installer, if using this Mac is of no success. Of course, ask whomever for permission to use their Mac, if not yours :)
