Upgrades to El Capitan are possible from OS X versions going back to Snow Leopard (10.6). If you're running OS X 10.5 Leopard then you'll have to upgrade to Snow Leopard first via the old-school method of using a DVD. The privilege of upgrading to Snow Leopard just so you can download the free El Capitan upgrade will. Here is a complete list of compatible Macs:.
iMac: Mid 2007 or newer. MacBook: Aluminum Late 2008 Early 2009 or newer. MacBook Air: Late 2008 or newer. MacBook Pro: 13-inch, Mid 2009 or newer 15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or newer 17-inch, Late 2007 or newer. Mac Mini: Early 2009 or newer.
Mac Pro: Early 2008 or newer. Xserve: Early 2009 What about disk space? It's a good idea to upgrade any and all apps (those downloaded from the Mac App Store and those that have come directly from the vendor) that you use before shifting up to El Capitan. But bear a few things in mind:.
Some developers may not have released El Capitan-compatible apps yet, so things that used to work might not work the same once you've upgraded. Some apps will require a paid upgrade, so factor that cost into the equation. Abandoned apps won't receive upgrades, so if the upgrade to El Capitan breaks something, well, you're then the proud owner of a broken app. Has an excellent resource for checking out application compatibility. Picture this scenario. You've tried to upgrade your Mac but something catastrophic happened, and now all your data is gone?

Well, fear not. Realize that none of this has yet happened and MAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE YOU CARRY OUT THE UPGRADE! Check your system disk Not really vital but I like to do this for peace of mind because OS upgrades put quite a strain on storage. To do this go to Applications Utilities and fire up Disk Utility. Select your startup partition in the left column (located under your storage device's name) and then click Verify Disk. If you discover any problems then you'd be foolhardy to perform an upgrade before fixing those issues. Encryption If you're using any third-party disk encryption software, you'd be wise to disable this before the upgrade, because if things go wrong, you're going to be in a world of pain (and more than likely reaching for that backup you just made).
Same goes for Snow Leopard users with FileVault enabled. Disable this, carry out the upgrade, and then switch to FileVault 2. I know that new stuff is cool, and it's doubly cool when it's free, but there's no reason to rush into upgrading to El Capitan.
More on innovation. If your system is critical, then it might be a good idea to hold back on upgrading. After all, it's not like El Capitan is a limited resource.
If you don't upgrade today, it'll still be there when you decide you're ready, complete with patches and bug-fixes. To be honest with you, if my job wasn't partly to feel the pain of newly released stuff so you don't have to, I'd probably give El Capitan a few weeks more to mature before installing it, and I won't install it on my main workhorses until I've seen what mayhem it's going to cause on non-vital 'sacrificial' systems first.
