Latest macOS upgrade available for my iMac 2015

I have an older model iMac (2015 iMac OS 12.7.6 Monterey). In order to upgrade my Microsoft Office components (MSExcel, MSWord, etc), I am told that my 2015 iMac must have at least OS 13 or above as its operating system. I am unable to upgrade my iMac using Apple's upgrade app. Is this possible given that my iMac and its on-board OS is so old? Or if I want to upgrade to the latest MSOffice components, I must purchase another, newer, iMac?

yeah 2015 is too old for macOS Ventura is compatible with these computers - Apple Support

if it was me then I would try libreoffice Home | LibreOffice - Free and private office suite - Based on OpenOffice - Compatible with Microsoft

it's free and let you read and write the ms office formats

Thanks for the reply. Does Ventura come after Monterey? If it does, I guess I'm screwed. FYI: mt MSOffice suite of products work just fine except that the Microsoft AutoUpdate app is where I got the message that I would need to upgrade to at least Mac OS 13 (whatever it is called). I will definitely have a look at LibreOffice, though.
