can i uninstall os x ei capitan. Im asking this because when I upgraded to OS X EI CAPITAN my iPhoto was not. It's saying that I need to upgrade to new version but it's not available in Canada. So I'd like to go back to what I had before update.
iMac, OS X 10.11

If you've Time Machine backup from prior to upgrade El Capitan, that should have iPhoto.
The last iPhoto 9.6.1 version was still available after upgrade to El Capitan; and can be used
in this Mac OS X alongside the system's newer Photos, there. They have different libraries.
Some research would be involved to see where the last iPhoto may be found at this late date.

Mine was easier to accommodate because original Mavericks and El Capitan ~ were both on
one hard drive, in separate partitions. (Second internal matching HDD has High Sierra 10.13.6
with 'extra partitioned space' to also consider Mojave 10.14.6.) Mine allows four builds macOS.
Other choices and access to internet recovery, macOS Utilities, and others, are available with
different key sequences on startup into Recovery. ~ This also works to add recovery to erased
wiped or new hard drive replacement.

Given the lack of security updates for older Mac OS X; you may reconsider, check what's best.
Good luck & happy trails!🌞🐝
I went and looked in the time machine and iPhoto has a circle with a bar through it.
I think when I crashed my computer (yes I crashed a Mac) and they put a new hard drive in it, for some reason iPhoto didn't come through as mine. I'd go back to the Mac store but that was in 2012. So thanks for the info. I guess it's time to upgrade.
I tried what the instruction said and no OS X Utilities window opened. I guess my mac is just to old. If you have any other ideas let me know. Thanks for trying.
