MacBook Air (2020 or later)
Mountain Lion will not run on a 2020 Mac (your signature says you have a 2020 Mac). You can only run Mountain Lion on a 2012 or older Mac.
Fall 2020 - Big Sur
Fall 2019 - Catalina
Fall 2018 - Mojave
Fall 2017 - High Sierra
Fall 2016 - Sierra
Fall 2015 - El Capitan
The 2015 release of El Capitan will run on any Mac that will also run Mountain Lion and it has additional features including syncing compatibility with the current iOS.
Is there an application you think only runs on Mountain Lion?
Use http://checkcoverage.apple.com to verify the age of your machine. Do not quote the serial number on the communities.
Macs can only run the system that was new at the time of their release up to their hardware limits. Once we know your model and vintage we can tell you your options.
