Here are the Mac systems with which El Capitan is compatible:

This version of OS X shares compatibility with the previous version, OS X 10.10 aka Yosemite. To install it you must have a Mac that is compatible with El Capitan. This fifth release of OS X is only available as a free download for Mac users.
