FYI, the next available macOS version newer than 10.11 El Capitan would be 10.12 Sierra.

After that, the macOS version upgrades, in order, would be:

10.13 High Sierra

10.14 Mojave

10.15 Catalina... then the version numbers change a bit...

macOS 11 Big Sur

macOS 12 Monterey

macOS 13 Ventura - most current.


➡️ macOS 10.13 High Sierra is compatible with the Macs listed here

➡️ macOS 10.14 Mojave is compatible with the Macs listed here

➡️ macOS 10.15 Catalina is compatible with the Macs listed here

➡️ macOS 11 Big Sur is compatible with the Macs listed here
