Your mac does not meet the hardware requirements for the newer OS's.

When Apple moved to macOS Mojave and newer macs need to have a graphics card that uses

the 'Metal' API, which your macs graphics card doesn't, other things might be WiFi cards, bus controllers etc.


Also Apple doesn't really want you upgrading older machines indefinitely.

They want you to go and buy new macs.
