You cannot upgrade directly from Mac OS X Lion to macOS Mojave.

You have to install Mac OS X El Capitan or macOS High Sierra first.


Use Safari to connect to these links.

How to upgrade to macOS Mojave - Apple Support

Section 1 clearly states the minimum OS to upgrade to Mojave is Mountain Lion.


So therefore,

or,

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.

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


Connect your mac to your router via cable 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.


If you are considering upgrading to Catalina be warned that it does not support 32bit apps.

Your Mac is probably running 32bit apps and these will need to be updated to 64bit apps,

some updates may be free, some may be paid. Use this app to discover which apps you have

are 32bit, https://www.stclairsoft.com/Go64/. Once the list has been created you can then

contact the developers of the apps to see if they provide 64bit updates.
