I have a 2015 MacBook that works fine but I want to use a product to convert VHS tapes to digital files and all the ones I see appear to require iOS that I’m not running. Is my El Capitan 10.11.6 upgradeable?? Some Googling suggests it’s not, but I don’t want to give up yet.

Make Time Machine Backup is very useful and can be used to Revert to Previous Working macOS
Notation - Mojave is the Last version to support 32 bit applications / extensions and Drivers. Catalina, Big Sur & Monterey supports only 64 bit and there is no workaround.
Suggest using Go64 to find 32 bit application before attempting the upGrade. Some or many of the Application already installed may required update or upGrades to 64 Bit Versions.
Thank you for the help. I decided that upgrading the iOS involved more than I felt capable of doing so I switched to a Windows version of the product and just started using it on my Asus laptop. Both of our computers are 7+ years old but work pretty well for our needs. So far the VHS to digital part of the project seems to be working for me.
It is very simple with a bit of effort but one has chosen another route. Good Luck
Is El Capitan 10.11.6 upgradable?
