If you do not have a MacBook Pro 2015+ model, then macOS is not supported on your Mac. See this Apple article for the system requirements for macOS 12.x Monterey:

macOS Monterey is compatible with these computers - Apple Support


If your Mac does not meet the minimum system requirements for macOS Monterey, then you will need to get a newer Mac.
