Your Mac age will determine if you can upgrade to macOS Mojave 10.14.6 or later, the minimum being that version of macOS for installing Microsoft 365 or Office 2019 for Mac.
Using strictly the Safari browser, visit How to get old versions of macOS, check if your Mac meets the hardware requirements for Mojave, and if it does, follow the Mojave link to its download in the Mac App Store. The download of Mojave will be deposited in your /Applications folder.
Always make a Time Machine backup before any operating system upgrade. Check that your printer/scanner drivers are supported by that vendor on the destination operating system.
