Updating a Late 2012 iMac to Monterey:


Seems just fine to me. It will work, if is is 21.5 Inch (see the second link below). Just backup first.


Updating the macOS:


Determining which Update(s) will Install:

Back up your data, check the application compatibility table, click here, and if you're referring to the MacBook Air listed below your post, then on the download link for it. A regular MacBook of that year isn't capable of it.


Catalina and above won't run 32-bit software; if you choose one of them, use Go64 as well.
