I can't download some apps on my MacBook bc the macOS isn't up to date, so I need to update my macOS....but when I do this process, it says no updates available. Can someone help me?

In order to 'upgrade' to later macOS, you would need to get a newer system.

Then the process may make some sense. Anything less, would be an update.

Links for recent Big Sur OS11.x ~ back to Yosemite 10.10.x should be available.

Not all could conceivably work; nor would they be satisfactory, due to age.

Each era had its time to be new; and have limited duration of use.


There should be enough information within the above article to learn

how to find more information; and locate a suitable later macOS build.


Good luck & happy computing!
