If you have an iPhone 5, then the highest iOS version that can be installed on it is iOS version 10. Nothing further.

If you have an iPhone 5s, then the highest iOS version that can be installed on it is iOS version 12. Nothing further.

Which of the two iPhone models do you have? To check, open Settings ➔ General ➔ About.
