Upgrading from OSX 10.8.5 to 10.9 or newer
I am trying to upgrade from an OSX 10.8.5 system to a 10.9 or newer. My applications show I have Sierra available, but wont let me upgrade with Lion first. What do I do to get 10.9 or newer?
Hi,
Check macOS Sierra compatibility here > https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201475
macOS Sierra requires one of the following Mac models and versions of OS X. It also requires at least 2GB of memory and 8.8GB of storage space.
- iMac (Late 2009 or newer)
- MacBook (Late 2009 or newer)
- MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)
- MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
- Mac mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
- Mac Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)
- OS X El Capitan v10.11
- OS X Yosemite v10.10
- OS X Mavericks v10.9
- OS X Mountain Lion v10.8
- OS X Lion v10.7
Be aware, older apps may not be compatible with the latest macOS Sierra that is pre installed on all new Macs.
