I am trying to get storyline working and have downloaded peak, but it will not run. I found parallels, but it cant download either because it says my MAC OS version is out of date. How do I update this? Will Storyline work on a chromebook? Any help would be appreciated

To get yourself up and running with Storyline on your Mac, I think you'll need to make sure you're installing the correct version of Parallels for your macOS version. Here's what I would do:
First - Check to see what macOS your currently running - If you're not sure how to do this, here's a quick how to:
Click the Apple menu in the top left corner of your screen, then choose About This Mac. You should see the macOS name on the pop up. This is also where you can check for software updates, and system specs! Here's a screen shot of an example:
Second - Find the compatible Parallels Desktop for Mac version:
Unfortunately Storyline will not run on Chromebook as it's not a supported authoring tool - here's a link to the Software requirements for Storyline.

And if you feel that you're struggling, or have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask for help!
