A 2017 MacBook Pro can be upgraded to the current version of Ventura macOS 13 (that is currently 13.6.4).

Be sure to have a backup before upgrading (advisable at all times, not just when upgrading).

See instructions in: How to download and install macOS - Apple Support

Just to add to previous advise

Suggest having at least 50 GB of Empty Space on the drive.

It will allow the Full Version ( about 12.xx GB ) to download, then expand and then commence to install.

If the computer does not have enough empty space, the installer may refuse to install

If there is Third Party Security Software installed - remove it.

It will interfere with both the download and installation process.
