HELP!
I am trying to update the software on my Mac however I can't find where to do this.
I do not have software update in system preferences and when I open the App Store and go into updates it does not bring the update up. There are incompatible updates sitting in my App Store as I have not updates the software. No clue what to do now
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13
Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and if your MacBook Air model is recent enough, click on Mojave, Catalina, or Big Sur. It needs to be at least a 2012 one to be capable of a higher OS.

The Age of this computer will Govern what newer version of macOS it will Qualify to install. Use About this Mac from the Apple Icon on Desktop - the required Information will be there.
With the above information in-hand - follow this How to get old versions of macOS and verify what version this computer Qualifies to install. Make sure to use Only Safari to commence the download as Others may not work
Make a Time Machine Backup Before attempting. Notation - Mojave is the Last version to support 32 bit applications / extensions and Drivers. Catalina and Big Sur Only support 64 bit and there is no workaround.
Are there any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Defrag, VPNs etc installed which should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are useless, unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS and may even Corrupt the OS requiring a Reinstallation.
