If your new iMac is really running OS X 10.11 and you haven’t done a re-install and preferably a re-install with the newest macOS supported on the iMac, go do that right now first immediately, as you’ll otherwise be chasing old info and old settings and old product purchases from an Apple ID that you probably do not have access to.

If you’re not sure about which iMac you have and which upgrades are available, post the iMac submodel / year info from 🍎 > About this Mac, and somebody here can look up that info for you.
