Why don't I qualify for High Sierra?

I saw a YouTube video that suggested my MacBook Pro 5,5 (2009) was capable of running High Sierra, but every time I try to download it, Apple says no.

Mac OS X (10.1.x), Safari , iCloud?

Don't believe what you see in YouTube.

You need a MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or newer) model


Mac Hardware Requirements


For details about your Mac model, click the Apple icon at the top left of your screen, choose About This Mac. These Mac models are compatible with macOS High Sierra:

  • MacBook (Late 2009 or newer)
  • MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)
  • MacBook Air (Late 2010 or newer)
  • Mac mini (Mid 2010 or newer)
  • iMac (Late 2009 or newer)
  • Mac Pro (Mid 2010 or newer)

Why don't I qualify for High Sierra?
