Sidecar not working.

Hello, so my father has a 2014 Macbook Air that he just recently updated to macOS Catalina. He updated only for the sidecar feature, due to the fact that he has a 2018 iPad Pro. But he was dissapointed to find out it did not work. Here is what he did :

-Both the Macbook and the iPad we're connected to the same network

-Both had AirPlay turned on, so did they have Bluetooth.

-He opened his AirPlay and the iPad just -wasn't there.

-He then read the manual for sidecar and noticed that it had to be turned on in the system preferences, but when he opened them ; there just wasn't an option for it, nor it the search bar.

Please help me fix this problem, thanks in advance!

The MacBook Air has to be 2018 or later, not the iPad Pro.
