Of course your Mac has to be compatible.

macOS Ventura is compatible with these computers - Apple Support

Ventura - Downloading the Installer https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/37/35/032-66588-A_P5QIYDIIZL/kkuzd39hnskjm12vimzblklo3drb3majbf/InstallAssistant.pkg The above URL will download InstallAssistant.pkg to your Downloads folder. Double-Click on the InstallAssistant.pkg file. This will place a copy of the app "Install macOS Ventura" in the Applications folder. NOTE: Before starting the installation, it is wise to backup any important files before applying a major operating system upgrade. Finder -> Go (menu) -> Applications -> Install macOS Ventura Double-Click on "Install macOS Ventura" This should start the Ventura installation. After the installation is complete, check the System Settings -> General -> Software Update and make sure there are no incremental updates available (hopefully not, but check to make sure).

Monterey 12.7.3 - Downloading the Installer


You should have 35GB to 40GB of free storage. Apple menu bar icon (upper left corner) -> About This Mac -> More Info... -> Storage


12+GB for the InstallAssistant.pkg. 12+GB for the “Install macOS Monterey” app. And the rest is used during the install, as existing operating system components are replaced with new components.


You will get most of the storage back after the upgrade completes.


If at home, disconnect from the VPN so you get your ISP’s full bandwidth.


Using any web browser, download the following URL (it is 12+GB):


https://swcdn.apple.com/content/downloads/53/08/052-33037-A_AKHX79ZA4S/z7yb5wdcrk453a3hi7c3hc9n6zzju9di7f/InstallAssistant.pkg


The above URL will download InstallAssistant.pkg to your Downloads folder.


Double-Click on the InstallAssistant.pkg file.


This will place a copy of the app “Install macOS Monterey” in the Applications folder.


NOTE: Before starting the installation, it is wise to backup any important files before applying a major operating system upgrade.


Finder -> Go (menu) -> Applications -> Install macOS Monterey


Double-Click on “Install macOS Monterey”


This should start the Monterey installation.


After the installation is complete, check the System Settings -> General -> Software Update and make sure there are no incremental updates available (hopefully not, but check to make sure).


The Applications -> “Install macOS Monterey” will delete itself after the install. Then you can delete the Downloads -> InstallAssistant.pkg to recover that 12+GB of storage.
