Bonjour. J'ai la possibilité d'avoir un IMac OS X lion 10.7.5. Processeur 2,5 GHz Core i5, Mémoire de 4 Go 1333 MHz DDR3. je me demandais si ca valait la peine de passe de mon PC Windows a IMac. Je ne fais que de la photo et de vidéo. J'ai déjà un IPhone et un IPad. Merci.

That 2011 iMac is 13 years old, obsolete and no longer supported by Apple Security updates.
If you are looking for a used iMac, you should buy one that is only a couple of years old.

That 21.5" mid-2011 iMac is very old. Even if you upgraded the operating system as far as it can go, to High Sierra, you would not be able to run photography applications like
Some vendors, like Adobe, support only the three most recent major versions of macOS. Those would currently be Monterey, Ventura, and Sonoma. RawTherapee goes further, requiring Ventura 13.3 or higher. Even Affinity Photo V2 requires Catalina or later. The current versions of GIMP and GraphicConverter might still run on High Sierra, for the time being, but that's about it.
Final Cut Pro X – Apple's professional video editor – requires macOS 13.5 (Ventura) or later.
If you are interested in getting a Mac for photo and video editing, I would strongly recommend that you look at much more recent Macs that have Apple Silicon processors, that have at least 16 GB of RAM (maybe more if you are going to be doing video editing), and that can run Ventura or Sonoma.
I agree 100% with den.thed's reply above.
Not that obsolete Mac. Find something newer. 👍🏽
C’est trop vieux
