I have downloaded the free 90 day trial of Logic Pro X on my MacBook, but it won’t let me install it. It says “macOS version 10.14.6 required” even after I’ve already done the macOS update. I can’t find any other updates on system preferences or App Store. Is there anything else I need to do?

Officially you couldn't even get High Sierra (10.13) on that Core2Duo Macbook from 2009. The highest supported OS is El Capitan, AKA Mac OS X 10.11.6. And for the latest Logic (10.6.0) you need at least Catalina, AKA the last Mac OS X (10.15.7).
What is the exact macOS version? Click on the Apple Menu > About this Mac.

It's macOS High Sierra version 10.13.3
Well, this answers your question you need macOS 10.14.6. You're on 10.13.3.
What is the exact model of the Mac?
WD
It's a MacBook Pro A1278.
Is there any way I could get macOS 10.14.6 on this?
Looks like it is a MacBook Pro 2012 or earlier. Maybe to old to get macOS 10.14.
Can you post a screenshot of About This Mac?
WD
Yes. This Mac cannot run 10.14.
WD
Ah okay.
Thanks for your help.
Logic Pro X won’t install despite me downloading the latest macOS update.
