v5.3 is compatible with El Capitan. In general, we dissuade people from performing group studies or performing comparisons on subjects processed under different version operating system. In reality the difference would be quite small (if it exists at all), but it is still highly discouraged.

Dear Freesurfer experts,
I have been working with freesurfer V5.3 on the Mac OS 10.8.5. My institution is requesting that I upgrade the OS on my computer to OS X El Capitan (10.11). Will this change my ability to look at or process freesurfer data? Will the recons that I have done be compatible? If I do more recons then can I still compare the data to those done on OS X 10.8.5? Is it recommended that I upgrade to OS or should I not do it?
Thank you kindly for your help,
Elissa
