Apr 26, 2016 Question: Q: upgrade iMac OS X 10.8.5 to 10.9 or higher My iMac is currently showing OS X 10.8.5 and if I want to install the latest version of Photoshop or Lightroom, the software requirement is iMac OS X 10.9 or higher. We have shared a few Mac OS transformation packs in past to make Windows OS look-like Mac OS, you can find them in our Themes and Wallpapers section. These transformation packs automatically modify system files to change Windows UI and to make it look-like Mac OS. But there are many people who don't prefer these 3rd party transformation packs.
Jul 30, 2012 Locate the ProductVersion key (not the ProductUserVisibleVersion key). Just below that is a string of numbers indicating the OS version; for example, on a Mac running OS X 10.5.8, it will read. All MacBook Airs from 2010 onwards are compatible with macOS Sierra, so you’re clear on that end, and luckily yours is even compatible with Apple Pay and Universal clipboard, if that matters to you. OS X Yosemite: MacBook Air from late 2008 (or later); OS X Snow Leopard or later You can do the following to find out which operating system your MacBook Air is running: Select the Apple icon in the upper-left corner of the Mac home screen.

If you need 10.9 or higher then you do not have much option. I do not know how amenable Apple is to installing what they consider to be retired operating systems if you walk into a store. Presumably if they wanted to make it easy to get these older systems they would leave them up for download, and you need to have compelling reason to not go for the 'newest' and 'best'.
Yes, any new system, particularly one that is 3 upgrades higher than the one you have, is going to place more demands on the resources. You can try doing things such as installing a faster drive and more RAM if you consider that economical for your computer. There's also options such as installing 10.11 to an external drive and booting from that when you need to use El Capitan but otherwise run 10.8. A lot of the specific recommendations really depend upon the details.
