Older version of GarageBand

I upgraded from an older MacBook Pro to a new MacBook Air and have had nothing but problems. I still have the MacBook Pro, which is running Big Sur, but when I cleaned it out the GarageBand app was deleted. Is there any way to find and download an older version of GarageBand that will run in a 2014 MacBook Pro running Big Sur? If so I'll simply go back to the old computer for music production.

Simply use that computer, log on with your Apple ID and use the app store. It should be in your purchases. (Make sure to click on your "face" in the little circle.
