Yes, that's a MacBook Pro (Retina, 13-inch, Early 2015)

It can run any OS from Mac OS X 10.10.2 to macOS 12 Monterey.

If you want to sell it, then I suggest you load it with the newest version of macOS that it can run - Monterey.


You can do that with a bootable USB installer, the guidance for which is linked in my previous post.


Or you can attempt to reinstall the latest OS from recovery by restarting your Intel-based Mac computer while holding Option-Command-R to startup from Internet Recovery. You'll need a strong wi-fi connection to do this. Optionally you can connect your Mac to your router with an Ethernet cable.
