My Macbook Air

My Macbook Air's still operating under OS X El Capitan. Some apps started causing problems and I need an update. I understand that the latest OS Big Sur isn't compatible with my MacBook Air Mid 2012. What should I install? Where can I find it? Thanks a lot everyone!

Unable to upgrade software beyond El Capital 10.11.6 Hi there! I have a Macbook Air (13-inch, Mid 2013) running OS X El Capitan v 10.11.6 I need to update the os version as certain things (e.g. the updater for MS Office software) won't run any more unless I do so. Unfortunately when I attempt a Software Update it says there are no newer software versions available for me to upgrade to. I'd like to do the update manually but i'm not sure what version I can go to - can anyone advise at all? Thank you! :)

Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and download Catalina.
