How do I upgrade my driver / OS system to above OS X 10.10.5?

Question

I'm trying to download a game (WoW) and it "can't install World of Warcraft because your operating system doesn't meet the minimum specs to run it"

Here's my iMac's "about" info for reference: iMac 21.5-inch (Mid 2011), OX S Yosemite version 10.10.5, 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5.

The minimum specs to run the game are Mac OS X 10.11.0

When I go to system updates nothing shows up. Is my iMac too old to run anything higher than my current OS?

Thanks!

Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download El Capitan or High Sierra through the links provided. They're full-version upgrades and won't appear in the Updates list.

I have the same question and I am battling to get it upgraded. I tried to download the High Sierra as suggested above and I received this message:

"This copy of the Install macOS High Sierra application is damaged, and can‘t be used to install macOS."

How can I contour this situation? Thank you

Choose Applications from the Finder's Go menu, throw the installer away, and download another copy.
