Your mac can install Mac OS X Yosemite 10.10 or El Capitan 10.11.

How to upgrade to OS X El Capitan – Apple Support
Here are the instructions for Yosemite, the instructions for El Capitan are the same just replace Yosemite
with El Capitan if you want to install El Capitan.
Go to Section 4 and click on Download OS X Yosemite.
This downloads InstallMacOSX.dmg to your Downloads folder.
The next section can only be done on a mac that is capable of running Yosemite,
a mac that came preinstalled with an OS later than Yosemite will refuse to do the next bit.
When downloaded open to InstallMacOSX.pkg, double-click on
that and an installation window will open, this does not install Yosemite
but converts the InstallMacOSX.pkg to the Install OS X Yosemite.app which
you will find in your Applications folder.
(If the installation window asks which disk you want to install to, you must pick
the disk that you are booted to at the time. Not any internal or external disk that
you want to eventually install Yosemite on, that is for later.)
To start the installation of Yosemite double click on the Install OS X Yosemite.app.
The copy of the install app self deletes after installing Yosemite, so make sure you keep a copy of the InstallMacOSX.dmg
if you need it in future, or you could just make a copy of the Install OS X Yosemite.app prior to installing and moving it to
an external drive for safe keeping. It is also possible to create a bootable USB installer disk using the Install OS X Yosemite.app
in the Applications folder and the createinstallmedia command in the Terminal app.
