Why am I not able to download Sonoma?

I have an iMac, 21.5 inch, 2017, and am running Ventura 13.6 operating system. I tried downloading the Sonoma upgrade from the App Store with no success. It suggested to check and see if my iMac is compatible with the new upgrade.


Why can't I download Sonoma?

Because your Mac is not compatible with macOS Sonoma.


It can't run anything later than macOS Ventura.


Sonoma requires a 2019 or later iMac.
