[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1815577, member: 56379"] Awesome...thanks for the extra info! Yes...you can DEFINITELY ungrade this model Mac...and very likely improve the computing experience with it!:) You mentioned that currently it is running OS 10.7.5 (a pretty old & pretty "clunky" OS version)...and has 4gig of RAM. The newest macOS a 2011 27" iMac can run is OS 10.13 (High Sierra)...which is a pretty good OS version...but a 2011 iMac cannot run the newest macOS version (10.14 Mojave). OS 10.13 (High Sierra) would still be SIX OS versions newer.:) Also...max RAM on a 27" iMac is 32gig...thus PLENTY of room to increase the RAM from the 4gig installed currently. And it wasn't mentioned...but you could also replace the "spinner" hard drive in it with an SSD if you decided to. HTH,:) - Nick [/QUOTE]
