[QUOTE="Zoolook, post: 1742626, member: 21101"] First off, welcome to the boards! Apple doesn't make it easy to find their legacy OS's online for download. Generally the App store will only have the latest OS version. Veteran's will have figured out that it's worth downloading (and then backing up) each X.0 version for later install, if you want to stay on older versions for whatever reason - usually compatibility with older hardware or legacy software if you use pro-audio or something else. Anyway, whatever Mac you have from mid-2012, you should be able to use the latest OS, which is MacOS 10.12 - almost any Mac from 2009 onwards can. Unless there is a very specific reason you don't want to upgrade via the App store, you should. It's free, you should not have to go searching for dodgy downloads from other sites etc. You do not need to upgrade one version at a time, just download and install Sierra from the App Store.
