Oct 05, 2015  Microsoft's first support replies came shortly after OS X El Capitan was released, which means the company has been working on a fix for several days now, but it is. I have an old iMac which is not compatible with OS X later than El Capitan (10.11) and am considering subscribing to Office 365 Personal. However, on Microsoft's page dedicated to Office 365 Personal, it clearly states that you need at least High Sierra (10.13) to run it.

New listings: APPLE Mac Pro Xeon E5450 3.00GHz 32GB 256GB SSD + 750GB OS X - $449 (Howland), MacBook Pro 13' 2.9 Ghz Intel Core i7 Mac OS X Catalina - $395 (Clarksville).

Check compatibility

You can upgrade to OS X El Capitan from OS X Snow Leopard or later on any of the following Mac models. Your Mac also needs at least 2GB of memory and 8.8GB of available storage space.

MacBook introduced in 2009 or later, plus MacBook (13-inch, Aluminum, Late 2008)
MacBook Air introduced in late 2008 or later
MacBook Pro introduced in mid 2007 or later
Mac mini introduced in early 2009 or later
iMac introduced in mid 2007 or later
Mac Pro introduced in early 2008 or later
Xserve models introduced in early 2009

To find your Mac model, memory, storage space, and macOS version, choose About This Mac from the Apple menu . If your Mac isn't compatible with OS X El Capitan, the installer will let you know.

Make a backup

Before installing any upgrade, it’s a good idea to back up your Mac. Time Machine makes it simple, and other backup methods are also available. Learn how to back up your Mac.

Get connected

It takes time to download and install OS X, so make sure that you have a reliable Internet connection. If you're using a Mac notebook computer, plug it into AC power.
