What OS can I upgrade my 2007 MacBook Pro to?
Hi there,
I'm running OS 10.6.8 on my 2007 MacBook Pro 17", and I was wondering what I OS I can upgrade to as Chrome and Spotify have been telling me my OS is no longer supported for months.
Under another post it was suggested to look at everymac (dot) com, and found specs saying that the highest OS could be: X 10.11.x, and here's what it had to say:
| Details: | *This system fully supports the last version of OS X 10.8 "Mountain Lion" and OS X 10.9 "Mavericks" except for "Power Nap" and "AirPlay Mirroring" (which also requires an Apple TV 2nd Gen or higher). It also supports the last version of OS X 10.10 "Yosemite" and OS X 10.11 "El Capitan" -- including Mac-to-Mac AirDrop capability -- but no other advanced features are supported. It is not capable of running macOS Sierra (10.12) or subsequent versions of the macOS at all. Please note that OS X "Lion" 10.7 and subsequent versions of OS X are not capable of running Mac OS X apps originally written for the PowerPC processor as these operating systems do not support the "Rosetta" environment. To run PowerPC applications on this Mac, it will be necessary to use Mac OS X 10.6 "Snow Leopard" or earlier. |
SO, what would be recommended? And then, how do I find these operating systems? Sorry, I need to have things spelled out for me.
Thanks much!
