Several users are asking us from which version they can update directly to the latest version of the Mac operating system, macOS Sierra, and the answer is from OS X 10.7.5 Lion or higher than this. The Cupertino firm has a series of requirements established on the pace of updates that change as new versions of the OS arrive, so for all those who have a Mac capable of running Apple's new operating system , they must have OS X 10.7.5 Lion installed on the Mac to be able to update directly.
Obviously, in addition to this version of the operating system installed on the Mac, it is necessary have a compatible machine for the upgrade and minimal hardware. We can find all this on the Apple website by following this link, but we leave you the most relevant right here. The 2 GB of RAM about 9 GB of hard disk space and a MacBook or iMac from 2009 or higher.
Apple thus leaves the Snow Leopard operating system for users who want to install the previous version of OS X on their computers, in this case the latest operating system with this name, OS X 10.11 El Capitan.
The recommendation in these cases is that you update your Mac to the latest available version of the compatible operating system, since in this way the Mac will always have greater protection against possible external threats. The steps to follow if we are on OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard And we have a compatible machine is to update first to OS X 10.7.5 Lion or to OS X 10.11 El Capitan and then go for the macOS Sierra update.
