You might consider upgrading to a Nvme SSD.įinally, upgrade to Mojave. If you are using a HDD then you may discover the Mac will run much slower than High Sierra without APFS. Upgrading to Mojave will require using APFS. I see from the App store that most current versions demand the latest (or almost latest) OS, so Im wondering if theres a way to still buy for instance Logic Pro which runs on OSX 10.11 or 10. I should first point out Tetsujin has a more extensive answer to the question How can I download an older version of OS X/macOS?Īlthough upgrading from a USB flash drive installer may be optional, I will include this Apple article on how to do so. A bit off topic, but you mentioned using older versions of Final cut and Logic pro. This Apple article explains how to download older versions of OS X and macOS. The upgrade to High Sierra will also upgrade the firmware so your Mac can boot from APFS.Īccording to this Apple article, you can upgrade to El Capitan (10.11.X) from Lion (10.7.X). You will also probably need to upgrade your graphics card.Īccording to this Apple article to need to first be running at least Mountain Lion (10.8.X), before upgrading to High Sierra. However, according to this Apple article, you need to first be running at least High Sierra (10.13.6). According to, the latest version of macOS for your Mac is Mojave (10.14.X).
