macOS Xcode on vintage MacBook

[xyzmac]

Hi,
I just started learning Swift language. But I'm not sure that my MacBook - a white MacBook Mid 2010 with 4GB RAM & 250GB HDD - is compatible with latest version of Xcode!? (Xcode 9 and Swift 4)

For start I need to work with Swift playgrounds on the Mac.
For the future I like programming for Safari(web extension) and simple convergence app for macOS, iOS and watchOS.

Thank you
xyzmac

I believe that Xcode 9 will work on your system, although you'll need to update to at least MacOS 10.12.6 if you're not already running it.

Replace the hard drive with an SSD as soon as possible. Even if you can get Xcode to run, with a slow hard drive it will be extremely frustrating due to slow performance.
