but I'm seeing no options for compatible upgrades. I've checked my Software Updates and there are no options for OS. Please advise, thanks!
Some websites will no longer draw and I believe it's from my outdated OS. I'm trying to update my computer to a later version than High Sierra but see no compatible options. I have plenty of disk space for an upgrade.
