Hardware: MacBook Air mid-2013 - 1.3ghz i5, 4gb ram
OS: Mavericks 10.9.5
Tried to update to El Capitan via App Store however the following error pops up:
"We could not complete your purchase.
This version of OS X 10.11 cannot be installed on this computer."
Any way to update to a lower compatible version of El Capitan?
Thanks!

Be sure to make a good backup before you upgrade.
That's probably because your Mac is capable of a higher operating system. Actually a 2013 MBA is capable of Catalina. If you don't want to install Catalina try High Sierra or Mojave:

Thank you so much!
You're welcome.
I see! Thanks so much!
I'm worried that a newer OS will cause things to slow down, hence I'm opting for an older version. I'm a VERY light user (just basic internet surfing), so whichever uses the least power is best for me.
Is it best to get High Sierra, Mojave or Catalina?
I would try High Sierra first, it's a very stable OS and the system requirements are pretty much the same as El Capitan.
