Firstly, you'll want to make sure your MacBook Air is compatible with the latest macOS. As of my last update in 2021, macOS Big Sur supports MacBook Air models from 2013 onward, so your 2011 model might not be able to update to the latest version.

However, you can still check for available updates. Click the Apple icon in the top left corner, select "About This Mac", then click "Software Update". If there's an update available, follow the prompts to install it.
