We can provide more specific advice if we know more about your computer model, age, and specifications. To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present). You can also use this information and the links below to yourself determine what is possible with your computer.

- This article also has links to system requirements for each OS version which you should check against your exact computer model. Also make sure you have more RAM than what is noted as "minimum" for any particular system or your computer may run slowly.

- You may find you need to use Safari to get any links using the Mac App Store application to open a functioning page.
