My Macbook Air won't find any new software updates and still has the OS X Yosemite version. Is there anyway i can update my macbook air? I have followed the guide, but it won't find any new updates. Is it possible, that my computer is too old? I bought it in 2015.

That is because the computer has the latest version of Yosemite.
An UpGrade is a different matter as it involves an upGrading to a newer version of macOS this computer Qualifies to run.
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.
Safari will open a redirect and open the Apple Store where the download can commence
One may consider upGrading to High Sierra first if considering upgrading to any version above High Sierra. This may better position the computer for a possible Drive Conversion to the newer APFS format as well as any EFI BOOT ROM required to use the newer file format.

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
