iMac upgrade:

The model year of an iMac is available at Apple menu > About This Mac.

A late-2009 through mid-2011 iMac can be upgraded to High Sierra 10.13.6 but no later version.

A late-2012 through late-2013 iMac can be upgraded to Catalina 10.15.7. See: How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support

A mid-2014 or later can be upgraded to the current version of Big Sur. See: How to upgrade to macOS Big Sur - Apple Support
