Sorry, a mid 2012 MacBook Pro can not be upgraded beyond macOS Catalina.

For verification, see the following from Identify your MacBook Pro model - Apple Support

MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid 2012)

Model Identifier: MacBookPro9,2

Part Numbers: MD101xx/A, MD102xx/A

Newest compatible operating system: macOS Catalina 10.15.7

Aww okay, Thank you for replying, Fox5th... I guess I'm gonna have to try to finance a new Mac then...any suggestions on where to buy descent used Macs other than "Mac of all trades"? ...I'm all ears, I have to get something compatible with the DAW (s) I'm using for my music production & they all require @ least a MacOs version 11 or later...no wonder my projects have been freezing up on me on my Presonus Studio 1 DAW,smh...

You may want to check Apple Refurbished; they are more expensive than used but cheaper than new. See: Certified Refurbished Products - Apple
