I'm trying to upgrade my system but for some reason when I go to the app store to search for an upgrade nothing is coming up. When I search in the app store macOS Monterey is the only one coming up and since I have an older computer (2015) it isn't downloading. I am currently using OS X 10.10. Thanks!

Thanks! When it comes up upgrading, do I just go into the app store? That's what I'm currently doing and Big Sur is not coming up, only monterey.
Unless you're upgrading to Monterey, go through the Knowledge Base article FoxFifth linked to instead of straight to the App Store; all of the links to it above are the same.
