I can't install El Capitan, even if my computer has the requirements of law

Hi guys,.

We recently bought a second hand apple machine itself. All good, but I have problems during the software update latest El Capitan, I need to install external software.

I see that all of the requirements, but I feel like I'm right on something really obvious.

My laptop:

MacBook Air (mid-2012)

4 GB memory

Software OS X 10.8.5

12.7 GB of free storage

Requirements on the Web site:

MacBook Air (late 2008 or newer)

min. 2 GB memory

OS X 10.6.8 (or newer)

free storage of 8.8 GM min.

Coming to app store/download page via the "software update" button under the symbol apple in the header.

It downloads and then I get the message "El Capitan is currently not supported. THX."when I try to install.

Thank you in advance!
