Big Sur Update Compatability

Can my Imac 2011 running Mac OS High Sierra 10.13.6 update to Big Sur? It has not received an update to install it. It also has received notification that iMovie, Keynote and Pages are incompatible because they Require OS X v10.15.

No sorry, 10.13 High Sierra is the highest macOS that a 2011 iMac can run.


If you want to run Mojave, Catalina or Big Sur, then you will need to upgrade to a newer or new Mac.
