Update OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 to version 10.12.1

Hi everybody,

I have an OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 and I want to upgrade to OS X El Capitan 10.12.1 (so that I'll be able to upgrade to mac sierra).

Can you explain me how to do it? (I'm pretty new with all this mac thing altogether... 😟)


also, is it good to upgrade to mac sierra or it has a lot of bugs?


Thanks in advance,

Odaya

You can upgrade your 10.11.6 (El Capitan) directly to Sierra (10.12.2) by going to the AppStore and downloading it. It is always best to upgrade unless you have Applications that will not run in Sierra. Your standard Apple apps should run fine. You can check others here:
