Set this Up Anew:

To get items to operate as they should, set this up anew. Being that your friend has given you this Mac, they should set this up anew (as if they were to sell it). Have them perform as instructed here, including iCloud sign out: What to do Before you Sell, Give Away, or Trade in your Mac - Apple Support

"Error 102 when updating iTunes 12.4.3: It says early 2013. What is weird to me however is that the friend of mine said that this same mac was on a higher update with the newer interface that is now on all MacBooks. This was prior to when they had cleared themselves off of it reset it and gave it to me so I’m not sure why I’m encountering having issues updating it."

Upgrade everything...

Upgrading a macOS:

Incompatibility may be the issue here. If so, then that is because your Mac does not have the hardware to go past macOS 10.13 High Sierra.

"Error 102 when updating iTunes 12.4.3: Just to clarify, the mac itself was already cleared. I had already logged into the MacBook with my own Apple ID and such. Am I supposed to repeat the steps you had linked myself to solve the issue? Thank you for the response!"

Update to Newest macOS:

What is your iOS version? In macOS Catalina, iTunes was discontinued. The TV app is used for TV Shows and Movies, whereas the Music app is used for Music.
