Hi, I have a mid 2009 macbook pro (15") that runs OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. I'm trying to upgrade the OS as some programmes that I'd love to use - demand a newer version. How do I "force" my mac to upgrade?

Hi,

I have a mid 2009 macbook pro (15") that runs OS X El Capitan 10.11.6. I'm trying to upgrade the OS as some programmes that I'd love to use demand a newer version.

Can I "force" my mac to upgrade or am I stuck with this particular OS?

Thanks

MacBook Pro 15″, OS X 10.11
