Back up your data, check your applications for compatibility, and if your MacBook Air model is recent enough, click on Catalina, Big Sur, or Monterey. It needs to be at least a 2012 one to run Catalina and the current version of Adobe Lightroom.


They're full-version upgrades and won't appear in the Updates list.
