Answer 1

What is the hardware model year of your 13" MacBook Air?

If it is 2020, you can upgrade as far as macOS 15 (Sequoia).
If it is 2018 or 2019, you can upgrade as far as macOS 14 (Sonoma).
If it is earlier than that, you cannot upgrade to anything higher than macOS 12 (Monterey).

Back up your data, check the application compatibility table, click here, and if your MacBook Air is a 2018 or newer model, then on the download link for a higher OS.
