Hi slceckitti,


macOS High Sierra is the last supported version of macOS for your 2011 MacBook Pro. Unfortunately it's already outdated - 6 years old.


To download macOS High Sierra, please review this article: How to download and install macOS - Apple Support (CA)


Before upgrading, make sure to back up your data: Back up your Mac with Time Machine - Apple Support
