What specific model of MacBook Pro do you have?

  • If its hardware model year is 2016 or earlier, you cannot upgrade to macOS 13 (Ventura).
  • If its hardware model year is 2017, you can upgrade to macOS 13 (Ventura).
  • If its hardware model year is 2018 or later, you can upgrade beyond Ventura. How far beyond would depend upon the specific model.


Note that these answers do not apply to MacBook Airs – the line of the notebooks the OP asked about.
