what's the most current / best os i can run on a mac mini (built mid 2011). it has 8gb ram & 480gb available hard drive memory.
How far up the line of operating systems can this 2011 mac mini support? The answer to those is High Sierra, see How to upgrade to macOS High Sierra - Apple Support. Ram memory a mid 2011 mac mini can handle? The answer to that is actually16GB. See https://eshop.macsales.com/shop/memory/AppleMacmini/DDR31333. I'm using my early-2011 15' MBP because my mid-2014 rMBP is at the Apple Service Center getting its swollen battery replaced. On this early-2011, it still has the 750 G hard drive and 8 G of RAM. Running High Sierra 10.13.5 beta 2 without any issues. The integrated and discrete graphics chips are behaving themselves.
was running mojave thus could not upgrade/update beyond GarageBand 11 v 6.0.5 (428.5). a few days ago i learned it's possible for the mac mini described above, to be upgraded past mojave os. now this mac mini is running El Capitan.
The issue so far; the version of El CAPITAN installed did not come with a newer version of Garageband than mohave...
