Trying to install Davinci Resolve Studio and am in need of an upgrade. Can upgrade Mac OS Catalina 10.15.7 to 11 on my iMac (2017)? Also, where can I find directions to do so if possible? I have never upgraded an operating system before. Will files and pictures still be there when I'm done?
iMac 27″
Yes a 2017 iMac can be upgraded all the way up to macOS 13 Ventura.
Upgrading the macOS does not remove your user data.

You should always have a backup using Time Machine or a Clone to be safe.
