That's as far as you can go. The early 2011 MacBook Pro is not capable of running anything later than 10.13.6


It is considered obsolete.

I have Mac OS high Sierra version 10.13.6

MacBook Pro (13-inch early, 2011)


it gives me a option for software update but I click on it and it takes me to my applications in App Store to update

also I don't have a big variety of choices I can pick to download apps on the App Store nothing like google play store and I for some reason don't have a whole lot to choose from for apps to download. I'm kinda new to apple products.
