I have a MacBook Air (2017) and I want to install the latest version of macOS.

When I go to System Preferences > Software Update, it says my Mac is up to date,

but I know newer versions like macOS Ventura or Sonoma are available.

Your Mac is compatible with versions of macOS ranging from macOS 10.12.4 (Sierra) to Monterey.

It's not compatible with anything later than Monterey, so while Ventura, Sonoma, and Sequoia are available for compatible Macs, they're not available for that one.

See, for instance: Identify your MacBook Air model - Apple Support

Those versions aren't compatible with your computer.

That machine is not compatible with anything later than macOS 12, Monterey.
