Some time ago Safari was failing to load some web sites due to the browser being to old, I installed Firefox and all was good.
About two weeks ago it came up with an error with Mail trying to connect to the ISPs mail server.
I had a play with it and couldn't sort it (I'm no IT person by any stretch of the imagination)
She had the person who set her up with this ISP, have a look at it, he has stated the computer is to old and needs to be replaced.
Last night I turned it on to turn on the WI-FI in the modem, and her email is now working, Firefox won't start saying it needs OS X 10.12 or later.
Safari still works but still won't open a lot of sites.
Can I install a later version of OS X?
Is there an up-to-date browser I can install that will work with OS X V10.10.5?
Thanks
Tony
If you have any tech skills at all then I would suggest trying Open Core Legacy Patcher. I hav a similar vintage iMac and it’s running macOS Monterey 12.5.1. It is flawless. Follow the steps here to get it up to 12.4
