You can probably upgrade to macOS High Sierra, Mojave and Catalina need a 'Metal' capable graphics card,

which your Mac does not.

The model and year of your Mac will determine which macOS you can upgrade to,

Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac.


Check that third party apps you use have updates available for the new OS.
