Big Sur is the latest major version of macOS compatible with that iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, Mid 2015).


It looks like macOS 11.7.11 – which came out on February 2, 2016 – is the latest release. It provides an updated security certificate needed to keep iMessages and FaceTime (among other things) working after January 2027.

Most major third-party Web browsers now require Monterey or later, but the current version of Firefox supports Catalina and later, and should run on your machine. You may want to install it, given that it has been a few years since Big Sur received the latest versions of Safari.
