In upgrading some older mothballed iMacs at work just because I see on the OWC chart that I should be able to load El Capitan on these early 2009 iMac 9.1 24 inch models but I can go up to Yosemite 10.10.54 but when I try to install El Capitan 10.11.6 it goes through the whole process of upgrading and at the end say something like no packages could be installed. At this point it has munched the drive so it is no longer seen as a start up drive in system preferences. I can reinstall Yosemite to the munched drive and it comes back to where it was before the El Capitan install was attempted. It still has the few programs I had installed so it's more like the reinstall is fixing the system on the drive.
Curious is OWC's compatibility chart wrong in this regard? Other newer iMacs l2.1s will take El Capitan at work
There is a note on the chart no blue tooth Handoff. I think that has to do with blue tooth connectivity for certain tasks but I'm not familiar with hand off.
