Upgrade OS from High Sierra on 2017 iMac

 

Shoot! It's 2017 even though I got it in 2018. I'll keep reading messages. I've changed the subject line.

I know now I can't have the latest OS. Will later check what I can have.
On to the next message. Thank you!

According to MacTracker Apple didn't release a new iMac in 2018. ?So the first thing to do is verify which Mac you have. ?The following should tell you the model and year.

Apple > About this Mac

Next, find out what is the latest version of macOS that is compatible with your Mac. ?One way is to go to the following Apple Support webpage and see the section, "Find out whether you can upgrade macOS", near the bottom. ?It contains a list of links at which you can determine whether your Mac is compatible with various macOS versions.

Alternatively, download the latest version of Mactracker. ?In Mactracker, select "This Device" at the top of the sidebar. ?In the main window, select the Software tab, and see "Maximum OS". ?That is the latest macOS version that your Mac supports.

Hello everybody! I stopped reading messages in all my Mac support groups when I got my iMac in 2018. Now I need you!

Now that I'm retired I use my iMac only for the basics. My iMac works just fine except that many websites now tell me they don't support my browsers. I knew this was coming!

I want to upgrade my OS from High Sierra to the latest. Then, of course, I'll need to upgrade my apps. And then learn how to work with the new stuff. Can I do it all myself? Can you tell me exactly what to do? Or refer me to a resource? If this has all been covered here before, tell me where/how to look.
