Macbook Pro Mid 2012 Obsolescence?

I have updated my Macbook Pro Mid 2012 to OS X 10.12.6, but need OS X 10.13 to run an application.

When I check for software updates I don't see any more updates that will allow me to get to OS X 10.13.


Is there any other way to update my operating system to 10.13 or is the Pro Mid 2012 capped at OS X 10.12.6?





MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 10.12

Your MacBook Pro mid-2012 upgrades to Catalina 10.15.7; maybe not likely Big Sur.

..I'd hold at Mojave 10.14.6, if you have a need to run 32-bit applications & drivers..
