A 2013 Mac is able to run up to macOS 10.15 Catalina or perhaps even macOS 11.x Big Sur depending on the exact model. However, macOS 10.15+ only supports 64 bit apps, so if your software is only 32bit, then you must use macOS 10.14 or earlier.

Just make sure all your software is compatible with a newer OS. Even with macOS 10.15 or 11.x, it is only a matter of time before apps requiring Internet access or online services will become unusable as the Internet and the online services change over time.


You can get the exact model of the Mac by clicking the Apple menu and selecting "About This Mac".
