My IMac Mid-2011 uses Mac OS 10.13.6. It works fine, but should I throw it away?

My IMac Mid-2011 uses Mac OS 10.13.6 (High Sierra). There is no way to upgrade to newer versions of OS and, therefore, I can't use my Mac to do taxes and many other things. This is a blatant case of planned obsolescense. Apple is forcing me to buy a new computer, when mine still works perfectly well after I increased RAM to 16 GB some time ago. This is really disgusting.

iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.13

Might try online Tax filings, but...


Mostly you just need a more modern Browser than Safari on Catalina, Mojave, or High Sierra like Firefox or Brave.
