The model and year of your Mac will determine which macOS you can upgrade to,

your 2011 MacBook Pro can only upgrade as far as High Sierra, it does not meet the

hardware requirements for newer OS's like Mojave or Catalina.


Please use Safari to access the following links,


How to upgrade to macOS High Sierra - Apple Support

How to upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support


Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac.


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

https://roaringapps.com

Check that your printers/ scanners etc have updated drivers and software available for the new OS.


Connect your mac to your router rather than rely on WiFi.

Do not use your mac while it is downloading

and do not use any other devices that share the same internet connection.
