You can upgrade to macOS Monterey 12.6.1. Be aware, 32bit apps are no longer supported with Catalina and above. Any older apps will have to be updated or replaced. You can check which ones with Go64.
You can find Monterey here: How to download macOS - Apple Support
When you open System Preferences and select Software Update, do you see an update listed there with an option to install?
Ouch. Thx.
My, what big posts you have. 😎
Ha! It was a response to advice (now deleted) about the error made in my initial reply to the OP.
Looks a bit silly on its own. So it goes.
Don't give up helping my friend, glad to see you here! :)
