Cant download macOS X Mojave

My MacBook Air is 10+ years old but I recently updated it from Snow Leopard to High Sierra(10.13.6), now I'm trying to download the official Mojave from the AppStore but it says that ,"This version of macOS 10.14.6 cannot be installed on this computer."

Is it because my MacBook Air hardware is too old for the new software?

Solutions?

Cannot update OS software I haven't upgraded in quite a while. I'm still using 10.12.6. How do I go from Sierra to at least Mojave? I'm guessing that in order to get to Mojave I need to upgrade to High Sierra first. When I click on High Sierra in the App store, I get this message: This copy of the Install macOS High Sierra application is damaged, and can‘t be used to install macOS. I managed to download 10.13.2 but when I attempt to install it tells me that I need 10.13, but as I said I can't get it installed. I also found a download section on Apple's site, but no download for basic 10.13. It goes directly from 10.12.6 to 10.13.2 - there is a missing download for the main version of 10.13. Please can someone let me know how I can rectify this as I need software which is not compatible with 10.12.6.

Unable to update late 2013 MacBook Pro that has OS X El Capitan Is upgrading from El Capitan to something else that difficult or should it be left alone. I believe that I found some comments online that Apple does not support El Capitan any longer? Would going to an Apple store be of any help? I have a late 2013 MacBook Pro 2.4 GHz intel Core i5 that has OS X El Capitan. Apple support says there is no update. Should I attempt to switch to Mojave? [Edited by Moderator]

Mojave is only supported on MBA Models 2012 and later. Refer to Identify your MacBook Air model - Apple Support

If it was running Snow Leopard at some stage that might make it 20 years old and definitely too old for Mojave.
