You may have to first upgrade to 10.11 El Capitan.
Guidance and a link for that download is in this doc:
How to download and install macOS - Apple Support
After you have upgraded to El Capitan, then you can upgrade to any of these, up to Catalina.
➡️ Download the macOS upgrade installer app:
Click > macOS 10.13 High Sierra, macOS 10.14 Mojave or macOS 10.15 Catalina.
Once downloaded, double-click the “Install macOS…” app now found in the Applications folder to begin the upgrade.
Please see > How to download macOS - Apple Support.
❗️– IMPORTANT –
None of your old 32-bit apps will work in macOS Catalina or newer, including MS Office, Adobe Photoshop and many other older apps and drivers. This will require that you find 64-bit updates and/or replacement titles.
32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later - Apple Support
Use the free utility Go64 to check the 64-bit compatibility of your currently installed apps:
