I'm trying to update my Mac from IOS 10.13.6 to 10.15 but I'm not sure how I do it. I tried doing research, in which it said to go on the app store and look at "quick links" and follow the link from there, but I don't see any link to try to help my IOS get updated. I have no clue how to update my IOS and feel completely lost, could someone please help me?

Back up your data, check the application compatibility table, click here, and if your MacBook Air is a 2012 or newer model, then on the download link for it.
Catalina and above won't run 32-bit software and split the functions of iTunes up; if you choose one of them, use Go64 as well.
