Upgrade from El Captain to Monterey?

I've got an iMac from 2015. I researched and it seems Monterey is the only/latest version I can upgrade to. But - I can't find Monterey anywhere. Any advice?

Hello!


There's no need to use Internet Recovery to upgrade from OS X El Capitan to macOS Monterey. In fact, it won't work! You need to simply use the installer. Get it here: How to download macOS - Apple Support.


For this method, follow the steps, and make sure you have a backup first!
