If your iPhone 7 is currently at iOS 14 as your tagline states, you should be able to update to iOS 16 by selecting settings > general > software update. If your phone is eligible for an update, you will be prompted to do so.


If your phone is already at iOS 16, then, as Niel said, you will not be able to update. That phone is too old and does not have the required hardware needed to update higher than 16.
