I have an early 2009 iMac with 10.9.5 that can't be upgraded to High Sierra. Where is the link for upgrading to El Capitan? Do I need to upgrade first to Yosemite then El Capitan or can I upgrade directly to El Capitan? Thanks

You can go direct.


Check to make sure your applications are compatible.


Application Compatibility


El Capitan 10.11 Compatibility information


Also check to make sure there is a compatible driver for your printer.


Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.
