How to I update my 2017 Mac Book pro from version 10.13.6 to version 10.15?

I'm trying to download an adobe program on my Mac but the program is incomparable with my Mac because its not up to date. I've been trying to figure out how to update it for a couple hours now. I've tried the App Store but it doesn't show up as an option there.

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 & Monterey 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
