iPhone se 2020 won't connect to Macbook running El Capitan

When I try to connect my new phone (running 13.5.1) to my laptop running el Capitan, I get the notice that I need to download software so it will connect. However, each time, after downloading, it says it can't install.


I have most recent iTunes. All updates done.


Any ideas? I need to connect to iTunes on my computer so I can restore my backup to my new phone.

OK......I have just read that iTunes on El Capitan should still work with an iPhone running iOS 13 or higher.
