Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
How do I install macOS 10.15.0 version or newer on a 2011 iMac that currently has 10.13.6? I recently had a new hard drive installed and lost my Windows applications. I purchased 2021 Windows Home and Student but I can't install it. It says I need a newer version of macOS.

Newer versions of Office will not run on Mojave or earlier. OnlyOffice, Office 365, OpenOffice, LibreOffice, iWork, and Google Docs all offer varying levels of compatibility with stand alone Office saved documents. You can run Windows on Boot Camp on a 2011 Mac, and may want to consider creating a new partition of that on your Mac to run the Windows version of Office and Windows. If you depend on Microsoft Access or Project, transferring documents to Mac OS from these applications can be more tedious than just running Windows on your Mac.

I assume you mean “Microsoft Office 2021” as there is no such thing as “Windows 2021”.
Office 2021 will not run on your Mac.
You can not, 10.13 High Sierra is the highest macOS that a 2011 iMac can run.
