I have been recieving a number of notices when attempting to log onto websites that my browsewr is not up to date. Yet when I attempt to update it with Apple's app store, I am getting a response that no updates are available.
Am on a MacBook Pro with OS El Capitan Version 10.11.6, which was last updated ab out a month ago.
Any thoughts ?
MacBook Pro 13″, OS X 10.11
OS X El Capitan can’t run past Safari 11, which has lost support meaning Apple don’t update it anymore. It’s a bit outdated and the websites you visit want you to use a more modern version of Safari (like 14 or 15). An OS X upgrade is needed for that. However, El Capitan still supports the latest version of Chrome so you can just use that (it’s preinstalled on OS X).

Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and if your MacBook Pro model is recent enough, click on High Sierra, Mojave, Catalina, Big Sur, or Monterey. Alternatively, switch to a browser such as Firefox for those sites.
Catalina and newer won't run 32-bit software; download and use Go64 to scan for it. To look up other programs, click here.

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.
Computer Qualify for the Monterey upgrade
macOS Big Sur 11 hardware requirements
macOS Catalina 10.15 hardware requirements
macOS Mojave 10.14 hardware requirements
macOS High Sierra 10.13 hardware requirements
macOS Sierra 10.12 hardware requirements
Caution - jumping over all the newer versions and directly to Big Sur / Monterey on Qualifying computers is Technically possible - there are those who have attempted and were successful. Then there are those who attempted and had less than good results.
If this is a Production or Mission Critical Set-up - a more prudent and measure approach is suggested.
The above is from observations on the Apple Support Community Forums and IMHO

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.
Worked perfectly... Thanks for the spot-on recommendation... ;)
