Hi guys, Hope all goes well with you.
I have MacBook Pro (15", Mid 2009), presently OS-X EI Capitan 10.11.6 on it.
I want to upgrade my OS to MacOS Sierra but when I try to download Sierra from App store it tells me my OS-X 10.11.6 cannot be upgraded on this computer.
Anyone knows how can I upgrade my Mac is there any other way to install macOS Sierra?
Is this a good question?

Sadly, El Capitan is the last OS your system will run.
Your system really doesn't have the needed power & resources to run Sierra. Many of the features Sierra has requires updated services like WiFi & Bluetooth as well as much more CPU power & RAM.
I would recommend you look at getting a used i5 or i7 based system as it will support Sierra.

@jdqurashi1294 Apple makes this restriction for a reason, your Macbook will run slower and inefficient on Sierra.
What is the main reason you want to upgrade?
Not every update does things better for your Macbook
