Hello, helpme1803.
I believe your MacBook is capable of running Cricut's software. The problem is likely the older macOS 10.14 Mojave that your footer describes you using. The current minimum requirement for CDS is macOS 10.15 Catalina as described here in the specifications page for the app. You'll have to upgrade your MacBook's OS to Catalina in order to use CDS.
Please note, however,
❗️ – IMPORTANT – NONE of your 32-bit apps will work in Catalina and newer macOS.

❗️ Do NOT upgrade until you have made a Time Machine or other backup of your startup drive.
