Chrome on Macbook Pro 10.7.5 - Possible?

Thank you for your quick reply too.

I found this information on the support forum, and I think it means my 10.7.5 will not take Sierra.

Lion (10.7) upgrade questions

Can anyone tell me otherwise please?

I can't believe my beloved laptop, which has not had a hard life, and has never been messed around with, is starting to fail already.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. Oh, if only it were that simple! I believe I looked at trying to upgrade from Lion a couple of years ago, but it wasn't possible. Unless I can take my laptop to an Apple Shop and get them to do it. The next reply suggests that Mavericks is no longer available either.

I just love my Mac, but am starting to feel like Apple want me to buy a new one. Surely 5 years is not old !

Thanks QuickTimeKirk. Well, that link certainly looks like it might be possible after all. I would not dream of trying to do it myself though.

Has anyone got any idea of what an Apple shop would charge me to do the upgrade?

Thanks so much by the way ! Nice to know helpful people are out there and responding so fast.

Really? I think I need an expert to help me then. There is no way I could start messing about myself, especially when the words "self destruct" are used. I will go to an Apple shop and ask if they can do it for me. I'd be happy to pay (a reasonable amount) if the thing will continue working with no problems.

Thank you for your input Csound1. I only use my Mac to email, surf, watch programmes and generally get information. I'm not an expert and it's difficult for me to understand all this technical stuff. Thanks again.
