Your iMac can be updated to macOS 10.15 "Catalina" but no higher.


However, once you go past 10.14 "Mojave" your older apps will not work. See:


32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later - Apple Support


This free tool will help you find what apps will not work with Catalina and check for possible updates.

NOTE: you may have to repurchase some software packages like Office.
