Home Forums Mac Software Mac Operating Systems Is it possible to upgrade to an older OS version?

RE: "I'm still running Yosemite (10.10) so El Capitan (10.11) would be a newer version."

True. But I think - someone correct me if I am wrong - when one "upgrades" from ANY earlier version, the only option through Apple is its latest OS (which, currently, is High Sierra).

The only way I know of to go back to an earlier version is if one has access to a copy of that previous version (e.g. El Capitan) which was made on a separate bootable drive prior to installing said version.

P.S. There are several websites out there offering download versions of older Apple OSs. But, having never tried, I cannot vouch for either their reliability or legality.
