What Mac do you have? You will find this information in About This Mac in the Apple () menu.


The hardware model (iMac), model year, and model sub-year will determine how far you can upgrade.


For instance, an iMac (24-inch, Early 2008) cannot run anything later than El Capitan (10.11.6). An iMac (27-inch, Late 2009) cannot run anything later than High Sierra (10.13.6).
