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, 10.15 Catalina, 11.0 Big Sur.
10.11 is not to be confused for 11.0 Big Sur. 5 years separate their release.
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.
Backup your data first.
Go to Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Date and Time and select the closest time server to set your time, and do so. Download based on manual time may fail, especially on older systems where the system time is not set right.
Note, some downloads from Apple do not work in Safari for earlier Mac OSes, see this tip if you find you can't download them anymore, to find a browser that will work. Additionally the certificates may make a download appear not available.
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683 offers instructions to get the download link for El Capitan installs on top of older operating systems.
Please note: Night Shift, and two factor authentication needed to unlock AppleID accounts did not come about until 10.12.4 on Mac OS.
Some downloads may error out because of date. This thread discusses how to force the date:
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.
These tips all refer to the client version. If you are using Mac OS X server, please check: Server forums
for more posts on Mac OS X Server.
Some important dates:
September 17, 2018, Apple released iOS 12. Synchronizing with it needs El Capitan or newer on a Mac.
El Capitan is only available to those who downloaded it before, or have 10.6.8 installed. Sierra is available to

https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT206886 10.11 El Capitan
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208202 10.12 Sierra
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT208969 10.13 High Sierra
https://support.apple.com/macos/mojave 10.14 Mojave
There has been limited success installing 10.11 directly onto 10.8.5.
Note: The 6 GB file takes approximately 37 minutes at 25 Mbps. After
which point you'll have to check through the license agreement and then it will proceed with the installation of about 24 minutes. That 24 minute installation may be longer depending on the capacity and memory support of your system, and should not be regarded as an exact time. If it takes longer than 2 hours in the 24 minute process, feel free to post on the forum to ask if there is something that might have been overlooked.
Before installing, be sure to backup your data:
iPhoto moved to the Pictures App which loses some capabilities in Mac OS X 10.10.2 and later. This tip explains how to keep both:
And make sure your system is otherwise functional.
Also if you are upgrading from 10.6.8 or earlier, please read this tip first, as the 'free' upgrade may cost a lot more, given that Apple
has not supported a software allowing older applications since the release of 10.7:
Then look at the software reports after 10/1/2015 on http://roaringapps.com/apps?platform=osx
Don't just consider the table having a green circle saying that it is compatible as people have been testing with pre-release versions of 10.11, and may have reported it in there. The only release version of 10.11 tests could have been performed on 9/30/2015 or later.
There are some known issues with Microsoft Office that they have listed on their knowledgebase and they have issued 14.5.6 & 14.5.7 of Office 2011 to address these.

Dell's listing is here: http://www.dell.com/support/Article/us/en/19/SLN299394/EN
Samsung gave me the Yosemite & El Capitan printers via their online support chat, as they have not made a specific page for these:
Sl-C1810, Sl-C1860, SL-C410, SL-M2020, Sl-M2070, SL-M2835, SL-M2875, SL-M2885
There may be open source drivers that work as well, that have not be investigated by me, though are put on my own personal FAQ*: http://www.macmaps.com/printersx.html
10.11.2 patches some issues with 10.11 and automatic document feeder scanning from the Canon Pixma MX922, and may help other scanners that no longer had their Image Capture interface for the document feeder.
Also found with another copy of 10.11.2, was the Canon MX922 was automatically recognized on launch, and with waiting for the dialog, it was able to locate the right drivers to download automatically.
