Hi, I bought an old Mac Book Pro 15 (Late 2011), and Sierra OS.

I erased earlier apple ID and reinstalled the Mac OS with MY apple ID.

When I tried to install most of the apps from appstore, an error message shows

"This app is incompatible with your OS"

A possible way to upgrade my mac OS into OS Catalina?
Since system requirements are not compatiple to upgrade, a possible way to install apps from app store into my mac?? (Upgrade or any other mechanism)

Wish your favorable replies. Thanks in advance!

MacBook Pro 15", macOS 10.12

The App Store Updates page only informs you of updates available for the OS you are currently running.

High Sierra is as far as your Mac can upgrade.

Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac.

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

Check that your printers/ scanners etc have updated drivers and software available for the new OS.

Most Apple apps now require you to be on macOS Mojave 10.14.6

so its a new mac for you.
