The Late-2013 iMac can upgrade as far as macOS Catalina 10.15.7, though if you have 32-bit applications that you need to continue using, then stop as Mojave 10.14.6 which still supports 32 and 64-bit applications.


See How to get old versions of macOS using exclusively Safari to click this link and the Mojave download link in the Mac App Store. I highly recommend that you perform a last Time Machine backup of High SIerra before any upgrade and you set that Time Machine drive aside, not allowing the upgraded operating system's Time Machine to backup to it.

Viking, thanks for the answer. It needed a bit of time to come so far.

I made the update to Catalina, but now, im not native english, my outlook for 2011 does'nt work anymore because of the 32/64 bit stuff. The time before the update the Mac was slow, but now it is sslloooww.:-). Is Catalina the reason?

Next Question, can i go back to Mojave to have the outlook back again? It is my complete e-mail communication from many years and my back ups do all depend on the same system.

Is there any software update from 10.13.6 to 10.14 possible for IMac 21,5 End 2013?
