The latest compatible OS for a 2012 MacBook Pro is macOS Catalina 10.15.7. (See: Identify your MacBook Pro model - Apple Support )


To upgrade to Catalina, be sure to have a backup and see instructions in: How to download and install macOS - Apple Support


Be aware that if you upgrade to Catalina 10.15.7 you will also need to update any non-Apple 32-bit apps. See: https://www.stclairsoft.com/Go64/
