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
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.

No, 10.12.6 is the latest version of Sierra but any Mac that will run Sierra will run High Sierra or later versions. What type of Mac (Mac Mini, iMac, MacBook Pro, etc) and what model year is it? Both are available at Apple menu > About This Mac. If you are interested in upgrading, please reply with that information.
