Cannot upgrade from Capitan to Sierra

I need to download Mac OS Sierra version 10.12 to upgrade from El Capitan on my old iMac. However, the new installer (the only one available from Apple) is Mac OS Sierra version 10.12.1. The previous version (10.12?) is not available anywhere. It seems the available downloads skip 10.12 altogether and jump the security update 10.12.1


Help!

iMac 27″, OS X 10.11

Click on the download link for Sierra or High Sierra in the Related Article above. The ones elsewhere in Apple's Knowledge Base are updaters and can't be used for a full-version upgrade.
