OS upgrade for old 2012 MinMac

I still run HighSierra 10.13.6 and want to upgrade to Catalina 10.15.7 which should be possible but no upgrade is available through the Apple Store. Am I too late to upgrade because this upgrade is long longer offered by Apple? I have a Mini Mac late 2012.

Mac mini, macOS 10.13

You can get Catalina here: How to download macOS - Apple Support

Be aware Catalina is 64 bit only so older 32 bit apps will need updated or replaced.

You can check which you may have with Go64.
