Is this information correct MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13 ? If so the last update from High Sierra was Security Update 2020-006 (High Sierra)


If what is really meant was upGRADE to a newer version of macOS - How to get old versions of macOS. Notation - the Age of this computer will Govern what next version it will Qualify to upgrade to. In the next page - you will require verifying what the System Requirement are of each newer macOS version against " About this Mac " . Ten an only then commence the download by Using Only Safari as Other may not work. Safari will open a redirect and open the Apple Site where the download will commence. Be sure to perform a Time Machine Backup Before attempting.


Special Notation - starting in Catalina and Big Sur - there is No Support for anything 32 bit and there is no workaround.
