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.  For Best results use Safari to commence the download as Others may not work.


Make Time Machine Backup  is very useful and can be used to Revert to Previous Working macOS


Notation - Mojave is the Last version to support 32 bit applications / extensions and Drivers. Catalina & Big Sur supports only 64 bit and there is no workaround.


Suggest using Go64 to find 32 bit application before attempting the upGrade. Some or many of the Application already installed may required update or upGrades to 64 Bit Versions.


Are there any AntiVirus, Disk Cleaner, Optimizers, Un-installers, 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

You have El Capitan 10.11.6. Apple has not updated the Safari browser on El Capitan for several years, and in the meantime, many websites have upgraded their security to newer protocols that are now deprecated in your version of Safari. Only using browser's that incorporate the newer security protocols will continue to provide you with expected website access.


The issue you face with still running OS X El Capitan is that only the Google Chrome Browser and the Brave Browser (based on Chrome browser without the Google junk) still support it, and as it is currently the minimum supported operating system, it could be unsupported in the near future. Firefox 93 now requires macOS Sierra (10.12.6) as the minimum operating system supported.
