Unable to run the update on my Mac to the latest OS I am trying to update my Mac to the latest OS and receiving a very generic message "this version of macOS 12.5.1 cannot be installed on this computer". Clicking the learn more button is ineffective. What is the reason that I can not install it?

One reason could be you need a 2012 or later Mac to upgrade beyond High Sierra.
