That depends on which Mac and which model year, and which upgrade you’re planning...


If you have a MacBook Pro:

Identify your MacBook Pro model - Apple Support


Details for the usual upgrades:

How to upgrade to macOS Catalina - Apple Support

How to upgrade to macOS Mojave - Apple Support

How to upgrade to macOS High Sierra - Apple Support

How to upgrade to OS X El Capitan - Apple Support (wouldn’t bother with Yosemite...)


Going from Mojave to Yosemite is a wipe and start over. There’s no downgrade. This assumes that the particular Mac supports Yosemite, which any recent Mac won’t.


Whatever you pick, have backups.
