Hi, I'm having trouble updating my computer. It's a 2017 MacBook Air. I'm currently stuck on macOS Monterey 12.7.6, and I can't seem to get it to update any further. I've checked for software updates, but it says my computer is up to date. But I know that I'm missing Ventura, Somma, Sequia, and the newest Tahoe updates. Any advice?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.7
The 2017 MacBook Air can only run up to macOS Monterey 12.7.6 which was released one year ago in September 2024. That operating system is no longer receiving security updates since then. Ventura also stopped getting security updates in September 2025 when Tahoe came out which means Sonoma is the oldest needed version to still get security updates. Your device can't run macOS 13 Ventura or newer since it is not compatible with that OS, same goes for Sonoma, Sequoia and Tahoe. Ventura and Sonoma need a 2018 MacBook Air or newer while Sequoia needs a Intel 2020 model. Tahoe needs a M1 2020 MacBook Air or newer.
That model can't be upgraded past Monterey.
