I want to install a more up to date os for my Mac and it will not let me

I had a problem with my Mac. When I reinstalled it put OS Yosemite on. I have tried to update this os as my virus softwares etc. Will not support Yosemite. I have tried to update from App Store but it just tells me I have all updates. Can someone advise how to get a newer os for my Mac?

iMac 21.5″, OS X 10.10

AntiVirus Software should be removed as per Developers Instructions.


They are unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS. Plus one is paying money for a Non Existing issue affecting macOS and for zero return.


The The Built in Security  is all that is required.


There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS because of the underling UNIX  Foundation and Permission Limitation.
