I am running OS 10.13 High Sierra. I have an app that requires an upgrade to at least Mojave. The Software Update option does not include Mojave. Is this correct? But then Apple Support has this: "macOS Mojave can upgrade High Sierra, Sierra, El Capitan, Yosemite, Mavericks, Mountain Lion". So can it be upgraded or not?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.13
