I'm trying to upgrade to OS X El Capitan from OS X Snow Leopard 10.6.8 but every time I try to download it from the Mac App Store it gives a message saying that 'this version of OS X 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer'. I have a MacBook Pro running OS X 10.6.8, 3 GB of RAM and around 400 GB in the HD. Apple has announced new OS X 10.11 on WWDC last June naming it OS X El Capitan. This July, as Apple has announced before, OS X El Capitan Public Beta is ready to be downloaded and installed. Here is the list of Mac series which are able to be upgraded to OS X El Capitan.
