I can't update my software to the latest version, because of this I can't download any apps or installed anything. I use the early 2015 MacBook Air, macOS Sierra version 10.12.6. Please I need help
MacBook Air 13″, 10.12
An Early 2015 MacBook Air can upgrade as far as Monterey, but no further. Monterey is still one of "the most recent three" major versions of macOS – for now. (That's likely to change this fall.)
32-bit applications won't work on Catalina or later (including Monterey). Check whether you have any that you rely upon, and figure out what to do about them before upgrading.
I would suggest making a bootable backup of your current system on an external drive. Then use the App Store link in How to download and install macOS - Apple Support to get and run the Monterey installer.
I am assuming that you have not installed an internal third-party SSD such as the ones that OWC sells. From what I have read in other threads, when you install Monterey, it tries to update your firmware. If your Mac does not already have the firmware update, and it has a non-Apple internal SSD, the firmware update fails, and the Monterey update fails, too. Once you've installed Monterey anywhere (even on an external drive), the firmware is in place – and you can then reportedly replace the internal Apple SSD and successfully install Monterey on an internal third-party SSD.

Early 2015 MacBook Airs came with either 4 GB or 8 GB of RAM. I don't know how much RAM is in yours. If your MacBook Air has only 4 GB of RAM, Monterey might not run especially fast, or you might find that you don't have enough RAM for some of the applications you were hoping to run on it.
Thank you. I will give it a try
8 GB of RAM. Thanks so much
UPDATE: I was able to install Monterey and it's working perfectly. Thank you for your help.
