Want to upgrade my April 2013 Macbook Pro from High Sierra to Mojave... I see there's a HW accelerator "Metal" I need to run Mojave. Can I get Metal added?

I don't think you understood my reply. Your model is already Metal-ready. Mojave and Catalina will provide the drivers needed for Metal support. Your model already has the hardware. There is nothing to add. Just upgrade macOS.

You can upgrade your model to Catalina. Mojave is no longer available for models that are compatible with Catalina. You should be able to upgrade by following instructions here: How to upgrade to macOS Catalina.
Before You Upgrade macOS
Note that your model is in the following list.
Mac computers that support Metal
MacBook (2015 and later)
MacBook Air (2012 and later)
MacBook Pro (2012 and later)
Mac mini (2012 and later)
iMac (2012 and later)
Mac Pro (Late 2013)
Find out if your Mac computer supports Metal in OS X El Capitan and later.
Metal is a graphics technology from Apple that allows the main processor (CPU) and graphics processor (GPU) to work together more effectively, providing faster and more fluid graphics performance in games and high-performance apps.
Thanks, Kappy... I understand now... very helpful
Thanks,, Happy. I can't see in my system report that I have metal... The Catalina system requirements say "Mojave capable"... Mojave says you need Metal, and Metal came out in MBPs in late 2013... This implies to me that MBP 2012s could be upgraded with Metal... that's what I'm trying to discover... can Metal be added and , if so, how do I initiate that?
Thanks! SO Catalina does not require the metal-capable graphics processor like Mojave did?
