MacOS for MacBook Air Mid 2013

How can I get a the SW MacOS for my MacBook Air mid2013 using mi Mac mini 2020 M1?

My MBA's SSD failed and I was able to bring it back alive with OS X 10.8.5, but with this OS can't do much.

I try to download high sierra MacOS using a Mac mini 2020 M1 but it says is not compatible.

Can someone tell me pleas how can I get the MAB updated?

Refer to this linked document for currently available OS installers and hardware requirements:


https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211683


The direct link to the Sierra .dmg file is included at the end of the document.


I don’t have access to a M1 Mac to test whether the Sierra download link is working for all platforms but Safari offered me the download on an iPad and iPhone while on the way to work this morning so it “should” download ok via your M1 mini.
