if you don't see an OS update in general - software update, then you have an outdated device and will need to buy a newer one to use said apps.

A Mid 2010 13" MacBook (not pro or air) does not officially support anything beyond macOS 10.13.6 High Sierra.


It's never going to run macOS 11 in any functional way and we can't even discuss how to install such things in these forums as they are unsupported and violate the terms of these forums that you agreed to abide by.


macOS 11 requires a 2015 or later Macbook.
