that depends on which model and year mac you have and what your current macOS is on the mac.

you can check the following resources:


see if you can run monterey > Upgrade to macOS Monterey - Apple Support


if not, you may be able to run an older macOS. you can check your mac compatibility with those (and find the downloads) here > How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support


and if you can run monterey or big sur, please see one of these two pages:

How to upgrade to Monterey - User Tips

How to upgrade to Big Sur - User Tips


and finally, you should always make a backup before upgrading.
