What does it say in the About This Mac dialog in the Apple () menu? Model name and hardware year/sub-year – no serial numbers, please.


If the machine is a 27" iMac with a model year of 2013 or earlier, it can't run Big Sur or later. If it has a model year of 2014 or later, that model year will tell us how far it can go.
