Verify your Tech Specs:

Typically you are always better off running the most current macOS your machine will allow—especially for the built in security features.


Old app compatibility maybe one reason to hold back— you have to do your own homework here: https://roaringapps.com/apps

System requirements macOS 10.15 Catalina

You can try from the Application/Utilities/Terminal.app enter the command line, copy and paste:

sudo softwareupdate --reset-ignored



Reboot and see if it changes for you in your >System Preferences>Software update
