The Computer does not Qualify to run anything newer than High Sierra.


If the user whats a newer version of macOS,  all is not lost.


Explore the Apple Trade-In  Process where the Value of the exiting device could be used against the cost of a new Apple Computer, iPhone or iPad 


Notation - Some devices, depending on the computers age may have little to no value at Trade In time.


But at least the device will not arrive to the Land File Site and be recycled in a responsible way by Apple


Or Shop Refurbished Apple computers at an Apple Reduced Cost


Have used both previously and have been satisfied each time.
