Could I upgrade OS X 10.7.4 (not 10.7.5 as advised) directly to Sierra? If not, where do I find El Capitan? I have plenty of GB. Have backup on another system, Time Machine, and data on Dropbox. I have not used it in over a year- recently replaced GPU and works great so I want to upgrade before I install new apps, etc.
Thanx~
MacBook Pro (15-inch Late 2011), Mac OS X (10.7.4)
Hi,
If you have never upgraded the machine to El Capitan before, you cannot now. The upgrade for you is Sierra: How to get macOS Sierra - Apple Support
Make sure you backup right before the upgrade, so everything is current in case of a problem, and for when you restore.
Also check to see which apps will need to be upgrade, which won't work and which will need to be replaced with something else: http://roaringapps.com/apps
Do you see the upgrade Mac OS option in the Mac App Store Updates Tab?
I have checked the upgrades tabs, they all cut off at 10.7.5 which is why I am asking.
Thanks~
OK, so I can skip the previous upgrades and (somewhat) safely go to the current OS? I have always been told to upgrade in increments. Appreciate the advice!
No, you need to update to 10.7.5 first.
No/can't.
You're welcome. 🙂
Upgrade MacBook Pro OS X 10.7.4 to Sierra or where do I find El Capitan?
