    MP 1,1-5,1 Updating to Mojave (dosdude1) from Snow Leopard

    Hello, now I'm using Snow Leopard on my 3.1, but I want to upgrade to Mojave. Do I have to install newer version of macos to upgrade to Mojave? (for example: El Capitan and then Mojave). Also I want to use Office 2011 (I have original copy of it). Will be possible to use that on Mojave? Thanks
