From Apple's requirements: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201475 It sounds like OSX 10.10 Yosemite will run on a MacBook late 2008 or newer so if this is a 2011 model you should be good to go. Apples technical specs don't list a 2011 model but there is a 2010:

Hi, I'm sceptical of it being a 2011 model. Everything I find on the Net says that it should be a Mid-2010 model. Info found here: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook/macbook-white-unibody-faq/macbook-white-unibody-how-to-upgrade-ram-memory-type.html says that it will actually

Hi. Based on your description, your friend has the same MacBook I have but newer. They can definitely run Yosemite. From what I hear, 4 gigs is the max a white MacBook can go up to in terms of ram, though a friend of mine said that you could easily put in 2 4 gig ram sticks. I don't know how

there is no apple store where my friend lives. If it could use the 4 gigs of ddr3 ram, but in the two slots wouldn't it be better to buy one stick of 8 gigs of ddr3 ram? On 8/15/2015 9:08 PM, Littlefield, Tyler wrote: -BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 What you can easily do

What year is the Mac that they have? Yosemite and El Capitan run on 2009 or new model Macs. Also, it wouldn't hurt to upgrade the ram. I have 4 GB of ram in this thing and it ran perfect with Yosemite. It may not be necessary but who knows how slow the Mac will run with only 2 GB of ram. HTH.
