Catalina update

My mac was "fixed" a while back and I am now trying to manually update my OS to Catalina from Mojave. I need to update my OS to 10.15 before it will allow me to update to 10.15.7. How do I get my hands on the 1st version of Catalina?

Thanks in advance

Mac OS 10.15.0 Catalina Where can I download the earliest version of Catalina? I am trying to install 10.15.1 but the install stops and tells me I need to have macOS 10.15.0 installed first. Ugh! I am trying to install this on a late 2013 model MacBook pro currently running 10.14.6 Mojave

Upgrading from Mojave to Catalina, but not the newest version. I am trying to upgrade my mac mini from Mojave 10.14.6 to Catalina 10.15.5. I run a version of Protools that is not supported by any OS past 15.5 so I am needing to avoid the final Catalina 15.7. I can download 15.5 from apple support but in order to run it I need to have Catalina already installed. The only installer apple currently offers is for 15.7, but I know that once I install to 15.7 I won't be able to downgrade back to 15.5. Can anyone offer any advice here, or can you point me to a Catalina installer for any version between 10.15.0 to 10.15.5? Thanks.
