Hi there,
Can some one help me to update my OS X El Capitan 10.11.6 to a newer version. almost all new apps cannot be installed because of this old version (El Capitan 10.11.6).
Please help.
Thanks,
Malayga

I will follow your recommendations to instal High Sierra and try to keep as long as I can because this mac is part of the family and still sharp for what I need to do with it, difficult to throw it away :-).
Kind regards,

Don't have to throw it away. Let the kids use it and use the new one yourself.

From what I can find, High Sierra is the latest operating system that a late 2010 MacBook Air can run.
How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support
FWIW, it is still 4 versions older than what is the most current macOS. To update beyond High Sierra, you will beed to buy a new Mac (or at least a newer Mac). Considering that yours is 11 years old, something to seriously consider as it is likely living on borrowed time at this point.
