The 2011 MacBook Pro has, for almost a decade, been the exception to that rule.

I recently had to re-install the original OS from the discs that came with my MacBook Pro. This installed Snow Leopard and software updates have taken it to 10.6.8
However it refuses to upgrade to Lion, Mountain Lion or Mavericks. (I've tried them all a few times).
I have repaired permissions and checked the HD is OK (which it is).
Each time I try to upgrade it takes me to disk utilities. The only way out is to quit and restart in 10.6.8
Does anyone have a tip on how I can upgrade again? It used to run OS X Sierra quite happily.
