Not unless you're planning on selling your Apple Silicon Mac and purchasing a used/refurbished Mac.

What are the minimum hardware requirements for MacOS Ventura? I have a 20" mid-2007 iMac with a 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4gb 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, currently running MacOS 10.8.5. Is it possible to update the OS to Ventura on this hardware? Or is the computer simply too old and thus incompatible? Or must I first upgrade to an intermediate OS and then to Ventura as the second step? If it's not possible to upgrade to Ventura on this iMac, what is the latest OS software it can run? Thanks.

I should add, the only new Macs available for purchase with Intel CPUs are a model of the Mac mini and the Mac Pro.
