Lee is definitely right, the upgrades that Apple puts out for the Mac, is not only for extra features, but are especially important for the security upgrades. Unless there is an important piece of software that you use to make a living with, always install the next OS that is released. Now, macOS Sierra isn't available for 2008 and older Macs. It's pretty much end of life for those and my 2010 MBP will be next I'm sure 😥
