This tip is part of a series of tips for : Mac OS X 10.4, 10.5, 10.6,10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11 El Capitan,
10.12 Sierra, 10.13 High Sierra, 10.14 Mojave, and 10.15 Catalina
If a Mac shipped new with 10.11 it can be updated to 10.14 Mojave direct from the Mac App Store.
If it is not running 10.12 yet, but was prebundled with 10.11, it can be upgraded to 10.12 first, then upgraded to Catalina.
If a Mac is already running 10.12, and it is older than 10.12, you must format a separate GUID HFS Plus partition to install 10.11 or earlier on it. The reasoning is starting with High Sierra HFS Plus is automatically formatted on SSD and thumb drives.
If a Mac has 10.8 on it, it can be upgraded to 10.13 High Sierra if it doesn't meet 10.14's requirements but does 10.13's.
If a Mac has 10.7.5 or later on it, it can be updated to 10.12 Sierra if it meets 10.12's system requirements. 10.12's availability just became known to the author of this tip on October 1, 2018.
