I'm still running OS X 10.10 Yosemite on the MacBook Air, and am resolved to wait until the first bugfix update build at least before committing to an OS X 10.11 El Capitan upgrade on my main machine, but I've been curious about El Capitan, which has been described as being analogical to what Snow Leopard was to the preceding OS X 10.5. Get Your Mac Ready for El Capitan Update Unprepared installation of a new operating system can result in disappointment. Remember that you are going to get a relatively new OS for your older Mac. To increase the hardware compatibility of your Mac, you must go through a checklist for successful installation of OS X El Capitan.
If you have a mid 2009 MacBook Pro, you can't update the OS. To update, you need a MacBook Pro (Mid 2010 or later) Model 6.2 and higher.
If you are careful about what you download and where you search on the Internet, your computer is useable without the latest security updates. My last computer had a 10.6 partition which I used every night. That was after El Capitan was released, so the OS was 5 versions behind. By being careful, I never had any problems.
Mac El Capitan Vs Sierra
I would make sure that you had at least 2 separate backups on 2 separate drives in case you have problems. That will allow you to recover.
