- I recently came to own an old family computer. 13 in, early 2011, 2.3GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB ram, currently running 10.9.5 Mavericks. I'm trying to optimize it as best I can for reliability and speed without crippling it with an OS it can't handle, and I'm at a total loss for what to do.
- Question: Q: How to upgrade my MacBook pro early 2011 to Mountain Lion I recently had to re-install the original OS from the discs that came with my MacBook Pro. This installed Snow Leopard and software updates have taken it to 10.6.8.
- I use a MacBook Pro with OSX 10.7.5 for work and relax. I would like to update to an higher version of the OS, because a lot of software and updates require it.
- Maximum Apple supported macOS for your 2011 iMac is High Sierra (10.13.6), but minimum OS to upgrade is 10.8. You will need a 2 step process to get to High Sierra. First, upgrade to a macOS later.

Macrumors 6502a. Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. You only have a dual core processor in that system, so you might want to think about at least putting in a SSD.

However it refuses to upgrade to Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks. (I've tried them all a few times).
I have repaired permissions and checked the HD is OK (which it is).
Each time I try to upgrade it takes me to disk utilities. The only way out is to quit and restart in 10.6.8

Does anyone have a tip on how I can upgrade again? It used to run OS X Sierra quite happily.
