You would probably have to sign in at the App store and look for it there..technically you can go up to Catalina and Big Sur... which would be the latest Mac OS released... please be aware though that Catalina and later ends support for 32- bit apps, all 32 bit apps- they will not run.. El Capitan should still be able to, though.. from there you could update to Catalina if you wanted to.... you can get El Capitan here:

( link to old installers in the app store... please use Safari for downloading...

Verify Compatibility:

See if your Mac is compatible past High Sierra. To do so, perform the following:


I. Reveal Mac's Model:

  1. Go to: Apple menu
  2. Select: About this Mac
  3. View: third-line-down


lI. See if it is Compatible:

See if your Mac Model is Compatible past High Sierra. To do so, view Mac Hardware Requirements on these Sites:


III. Is your Model Listed?:

If it is not listed, it is incompatible past High Sierra.

Hi bhmal,


You can obtain a newer version of macOS from these sources:


  • If you're looking to get macOS Big Sur (11.2): Search for it in the Mac App Store.
  • If you're looking to get macOS Mojave 10.14.6 or macOS Catalina 10.15.7: Use the link supplied by @Johnb-one.


Also, Johnb-one is correct regarding 32-bit app compatibility; they are no longer supported in macOS Catalina and macOS Big Sur.
