I have a iMac 27" and has the old software. Will i be able to update to the latest software? If so what are the correct steps on making this happen? I'm not sure on which iMac it is but i do have the model number. I will be looking forward on your response. Thank you!

If you are looking to see if you can update your software, go to About This Mac, under the Apple logo and click on it. Then the window that opens has an Update button. Click on it and if there are any updates available for your OS, they will download.
That you so much for your help and patience, so I followed your instructions and when I click on installer I get this error "this copy of the macOS High Sierra application is damaged, and can't be used to install macOS.
Im sorry to be such a pain, I'm new with Apple. Also for disk I see i have Macintosh HD2, does that matter?
Don't feel you need to apologize. Our mission here is to help each other. If I am understanding you correctly, you have already done the download, but it will not install. If that is the case, your download file is likely corrupted. Did you use Wi-Fi? Corruption often happens with Wi-Fi. You should do it via a wired Ethernet connection. These files are too large for Wi-Fi. If necessary, temporarily move your computer to where your modem/router is to connect it. If that is not possible, then you may have to do several downloads to get a clean one that will install. Be sure to stay off the internet during the download process and use Safari.
I currently have the OS X Yosemite installed, not sure if I am able to install High Sierra. I really thank you for your time.
Do you have a phone number or live in Miami FL, because I really don't think Im gonna be able to do this on my own.
Again, thank you for the help and for the patience. This mac was given to me but clearly it needs some updates/upgrades. Not even sure what to call it anymore.
Thank you! So I have model A1312 which from I read online is 2011 model, so I should be able to install High Sierra, however I'm trying to download it and I am unable to.
I followed the instructions and currently i have installed OS X Yosemite and when checking fro updates it says no updates available
Choose Applications from the Finder's Go menu and double-click the installer.

Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and depending on which Mac model you have, download High Sierra, Catalina, or Big Sur. It's not possible to tell what its maximum OS is from the information given.

I did, a new window opens with information about High Sierra; however I don't see an option to download. At the right hand side all I see is open and when I click on it, the options are only to share the link to friends via different social medias (fb, message).
You haven't said what operating system you have installed. I suspect that what you are trying to do is to upgrade to His Sierra, not update your current software. There is a big difference between an update and an upgrade. To get an upgrade, visit the Apple App Store. Be sure to use Safari, not Firefox. How to upgrade to macOS High Sierra - Apple Support
Sorry, I don't live in Florida. Here is my suggestion. Take some time to check out some of the information on this forum. Over time you will learn a great deal here. I know that I have. And it costs nothing. Macs are not that difficult. You learn by doing. Anything you mess up can be fixed. So don't get nervous about it all.
Click on High Sierra above. It's a full-version upgrade and won't appear in the Updates list.
