Hi Folks,
Need your help. Can I install a higher OS on a mid 2011 mini running High Sierra 10.13.6"
If not, what year mini would I need?
Is there a list of which OS's work on which minis?
I don't need the most current OS because I don't need all the features, but I do need one that won't give me the spinning ball every time I use Mail and the Internet.
Thank you!
Esther
Sorry, but no. The next version would be macOS Mojave and it would require a 2012 or later Mac mini to run on.
For even newer macOS versions:
However, before investing in a new mini, I suggest that you run an EtreCheck report. EtreCheck is a diagnostics tool that can help pinpoint potential issues with your Mac. Optionally, you can post it here if you need assistance with analyzing its results.
