Should I install Mojave on my Macbook late 2008?

Hi,

I have a MacBook (late 2008) that's running on Yosemite ... it's a bit slow but still running very well, and I want to restore it to factory settings soon, I've never done it before. Now out of the blue it showed me today that I could download Mojave.


Do you think it makes any sense to do this on my MacBook?

Thanks a lot,

Irina

MacBook, iOS 10
