MacOS upgrade

I have an old MacBook Pro7 (mid-2010) that I used while I was in college. I don't really use it much today as work requires that I use a PC. However, I do want to install the latest MacOS that the laptop can support. Can you tell me the highest/latest MacOS is supported by this particular model?
