Mac OS update Ventura

Can I upgrade macOS Catalina version 10.15.7 to macOS Ventura on my iMac 21.5 inch late 2013 model as well as my MacBook Pro Late 2011 model? I can't seem to run MSOffice updates without upgrading MacOS to the latest version and I am currently running the latest version of Catalina and getting an error to upgrade OS to accommodate updates to MS Office?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15

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


Does this computer appear from the below links as Qualifying to run Big Sur, Monterey or Ventura ?


If No, Empty Space is not the issue but rather the Hardware does not meet the Requirements as deemed by Apple


Computer Qualifying for macOS 13 Ventura 


Computer Qualify for the Monterey upgrade


macOS Big Sur 11 hardware requirements


macOS Catalina 10.15 hardware requirements


If the user whats the latest and greatest versions of macOS all is not lost.


If the user wishes to explore the Apple Trading In option where the Value of the exiting machine could be used against the cost of a new Apple Computer 


Or Shop Refurbished Apple computers at an Apple Reduced Cost


Have used both previously and have been satisfied each time.
