If the user wishes to explore the Apple Trading In option where the Value of the exiting machine could be used against the cost of a new Apple Computer 

Or Shop Refurbished Apple computers at an Apple Reduced Cost

Have used both previously and have been satisfied each time.

Santa could safe a few dollars

El Capitan is the latest version you can run.

A 2008 MacBook cannot possibly run Catalina.

Catalina - Capitan, potatos - potâtos. I misread El Capitan as Catalina.

Thanks. Good catch.

No problem. Looks like the user is already running El Capitan. 😎

Even is nothing comes of it, Pounds wise, at least the User would in incur costs to drag it to and have the machine put to the landfill site.
