This Model is Incompatible Past 10.13:

I had the same Mac — it’s incompatible with Mojave and thereafter. Technology changes, and that means that it does not meet standards. So, I’ve upgraded. I’m always, for now.

MacOS 10.14 Mojave: See compatible Mac models

Your macbook/pro build model configuration only upgrades to High Sierra 10.13.6.

Original OS: Mac OS X 10.6.3 (10D2094)

Later OS: Mac OS X 10.6.4 (10F2108)

• Maximum OS: macOS 10.13.6 (17G65)

The newer links from support articles show working recent installer downloads.

But once at the end of that trail, you have to improvise; to keep using older Mac.

Good luck & happy trails!🌞☃️🍀
