I have an older MacBook (2008) and I am running OS X Lion, which is highest possible OS X version my MacBook supports. I've made several purchases from the Mac App Store. I recently started fresh with a new HD, and I discovered that when I tried to re-install my previous purchases from the App Store, if the app was currently at a version not supported by Lion, then I get a message: '(App) can’t be installed on “OS X Lion” because Mac OS X version 10.8 or later is required.' I was wondering if it was possible to access previous, Lion compatible versions through the App Store to download? Some of these apps were actual purchases, not free, and I am disappointed. Thank you.

Download Old Macos Mojave

MacOS Big Sur elevates the most advanced desktop operating system in the world to a new level of power and beauty. Experience Mac to the fullest with a refined new design. Enjoy the biggest Safari update ever. Discover new features for Maps and Messages. If you’re a user of Mac OS, upgrading to the Mojave version is the logical next step. The only thing you should worry about is to update your apps, as the old versions won’t work on Mojave. The most significant changes in the newest version relate to aesthetics. For example, if your Mac came with macOS Big Sur, it will not accept installation of macOS Catalina or earlier. If a macOS can't be used on your Mac, the App Store or installer will let you know. For example, it might say that it's not compatible with this device or is too old to be opened on this version of macOS.
