A late 2015 iMac can be upgraded to the latest version of Monterey macOS 12 but no later.

Monterey is still one of the "most recent three" – so there probably aren't too many applications that would run on Ventura, but not on Monterey.


If you upgrade to Catalina or later, 32-bit applications will stop working. iTunes will go away, replaced by separate applications (Music, TV, Podcasts, Books, and Finder-based iPhone/iPad/iPod management).
