Refer to this link for Apple Computer that do Qualify for macOS 13 Ventura

macOS Ventura is compatible with these computers

Then verify from Use About this Mac from the Apple Icon on Desktop - if in fact this computer is or is not really a 2017 model.

Sometimes, we can mistakenly mix date of purchase versus actual age of the computer

Perhaps this computer is a 2018 model and does Qualify for macOS Ventura 🤞 ?

The App Store is often wrong.

You can download and install Ventura, or even Sonoma, if you want. You might need to purchase a new computer first. But if your primary goal is to run the latest operating system, isn't that a small price to pay? 😄

Did you update? Ventura requires MacBook Air 2018 and later, your update won't start.
