I don't see the point of keeping OS X Yosemite 10.10.5 on my MacBook Pro, Core i5, software is so old SSL certificates are out of date, I can't update neither the stock software or any application - eviltoast

MacBook Pro, Core i5, 2.8 GHz (I5-4308U), model A1502 (EMC 2875), Retina Mid-2014 13", MacBookPro11,1, RAM 8 GB, VRAM 1.5 GB, Storage 512 GB SSD

vlc, tor, brave, firefox… are apps that I cannot download. Neither can I use mac’s app store, because software is too old.

What would be the point of not nuking this OS X?

      hi, I downloaded the ISRG Root X1 certificate file, followed the instructions, added ISRG Root X1 to System (not to login, not to system roots), marked it to always trust, rebooted, but I still cannot install firefox esr or tor

      ETA: I cannot use this version of the application with this version of OS X (I have 10.10.5, the application requires 10.12 or later)

        That has nothing to do with the root certificates. The root certificates just make it so any browser or whatever on the system can communicate with the internet. If you want a working browser use https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

          then all you mentioned about adobe and MS office is useless for this particular X version. I have no interest in a 10 year old adobe version
