That depends greatly on the particular computer.


Different computers have different options and upgrade paths available.


Details and download links for most of the recent OS X and macOS versions:

How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support

How to upgrade to macOS Big Sur - Apple Support


Or tell us which computer you are seeking to upgrade, and we can provide tailored suggestions. For a Mac, look at 🍎 > About This Mac in the menus, and post the Mac model and year shown there, and post the version of OS X or macOS the computer is already running.


Have a backup created prior to the upgrade.
