Hi all
I'm setting up my old Mac Mini for my son to use, its running OS X Version 10.9.5 the processor is 2.5 Ghz I5 and Memory is 4GB.
It doesn't give me the option to update the software and also wont load things like safari.
Do you know if this device can be updated so it can be used for light day to day use..?
Sorry I'm not a expert in computers as you can probably tell :)

try upgrading to High Sierra first and then Catalina.

Remember that once you go beyond macOS 10.14 "Mojave," all older (32-bit) apps will stop working.
32-bit app compatibility with macOS High Sierra 10.13.4 and later - Apple Support
If any cannot be updated you must buy new versions. This free tool will help you check for which apps stop running under 10.15 and which can be updated:
