Before you upgrade verify that your software is up to date. A few programs that ran fine in Mt Lion needed upgrades - including printer drivers. I had to retire an inkjet printer when I upgraded from 10.9 to 10.10 so check that the vendor of your printer has an upgrade to El Capitan. Also if you never downloaded any version of the Mac OS between 10.8 and 10.11 your only choice is to install El Capitan. If you did download a version in between you’ll find it in the list of Purchased software in the App Store. Finally, if you have 4GB of RAM and your computer has a standard mechanical hard drive (rather than an SSD) you should consider upgrading the RAM (if you can) or replacing the hard drive with an SSD. El Capitan is considerably more resource hungry than Mt Lion. (Note: since you didn’t mention specifically what computer you have I am trying to cover all the bases. I know most MacBook Airs have an SSD and that none of them can have RAM upgrades. But sometimes people post in the wrong spot.)
El Capitan is no longer available in the app store (at least I can't find it) and you need at least 10.11 to upgrade to Sierra. Any ideas for how to get to where I need to be or another thread where this same question is answered?
