Right now, the newest iteration of OS X is 10.11, known as El Capitan. Previous versions include 10.10 (Yosemite), 10.9 (Mavericks), 10.8 (Mountain Lion), 10.7 (Lion), and 10.6 (Snow Leopard). There are multiple ways to install each version of Mac OS X on your PC; we've written guides for a few of them and listed them below. Approximately 90% of all Macs were eligible to upgrade to El Capitan when the operating system launched on Sept. El Capitan will run on the same Macs that have run Yosemite, Mavericks, 2012's Mountain Lion and 2011's Lion. On the flip side, a sizable number of Macs continued to run outdated editions of OS X last month.
I am running Mountain Lion on Mac mini late 2012. I loaded El Captain from Apple Store and start the upgrade procedure. After a while the system rebooted and got a OS installation screen. After a while I got the message 'OS X could not be installed on your computer no packages were eligible for install' with a restart button, pressing 'Restart' the computer Restarted came age to the OS instillation screen and after few minutes - same message again. The only option was to restart with 'Command R' and to reinstall Mountain Lion.

OS X Mountain Lion (version 10.8) is the ninth major release of macOS, Apple Inc.' S desktop and server operating system for Macintosh computers. You REALLY want to upgrade your hardware first. The stock 2011 MBP has 4GB RAM and a weedy little 5400RPM hard drive. Do yourself a big favor and drop.
