Ok, you are only able to access which ever versions of Mac OS/OS X/macOS, as Hulu have purchased through the Mac App Store. If you have not purchased any other versions of macOS, the only version currently available in the Mac App Store, is macOS Sierra (10.12).

It is not true as Sierra will run on Macs back to approx 2009!

Do not believe anything you read on the 'net or what 'knowalls' tell you. The rumours are usually propigated by Windows users who can't stand Macs. They will also tell you OS X gets viruses and you must run antivirus software which is completely untrue also.

Who mentioned malware? Malwarevytes for Mac is recommended for those little problems.

Malware and Adware are not viruses despite what AV companies promote to market their products to Mac users.

Unless you have already downloaded them before Mavericks, Yosemite and El Capitan will NOT be available to you, just Sierra. Apple has removed them from the general store. If you HAVE already downloaded them before, they would be in your Purchased tab of the App store app.

Why would you want to install Mav ericks and Yosemite? Support for those older operating systems have ceased with Apple no longer supplying Security Updates. These updates are vital.

Neither, as recommended earlier in this thread, you should be downloading and install macOS Sierra (the latest version). macOS High Sierra will come out in a couple of months. If you didn't already download the earlier versions of OS X already, you cant download them anymore anyway, only Sierra is available right now..
