My MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) hasn't got an available OS update

Hi,


My MacBook Pro (15-inch, Mid 2010) doesn't seem to have an OS update and is currently on 10.13.6 MacOS High Sierra. This is stopping me from downloading and using Microsoft Office apps as they require 10.14 or later.


What is the solution please?


Thanks,


James

Several solutions:


1) Stick with the MacBook Pro and use the online versions: Free, Microsoft Office for the web - https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/free-office-online-for-the-web


2) Buy a newer computer that can upgrade.


3) Stop using MS Office and use something like Pages, etc, or the free LibreOffice which still runs on older machines.
