late 2011 macbook pro latest os?

i'm on 10.9.5 now, have 16 gb ram and 360 gb free space on my drive. my understanding ismojave is out for this mac. i've kept it on this os because it works w/ my old adobe cs5 apps, and they are fast.


thinking about os upgrade, and i know that may or will mess up cs5 apps.


if i try to go to mojave and it's not able, will apple move me to high sierra or what?

MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.5), 16 gb ram, ssd installed

Hello Marc,

Thank you for Using Apple Support Communities.

I understand that you have a MacBook Pro (Late 2011) that you want to upgrade the macOS on. Based on the following support articles, the farthest you can upgrade is to macOS High Sierra.

When you attempt to upgrade your macOS, a check will be made of your system and you will not offered Mojave as an option.

oh yeah, on my work (employer's) mbp, we use the cloud versions and they are great (for the most part, not so much in network situations). BUT this is my personal mac, and i do _some_ freelance, and cs5, w/ 16 gm ram and an ssd, it cooks. pshop opens in literally 2 seconds, as does AI, while indesign cs5 is a bit slower.


and i have an extra install of the cloud apps on a surface pro 3, i bet i could get away w/ installing it on a 2nd mac too.
