MacBook Air
Apple typically provides security updates for the two previous versions of the OS (and sometimes three). So, since your mac can run Monterey, one may expect security updates for at least two more years.
And it’s not as if your mac will stop working in two years, either.

The age of your mac will determine if it can be upgraded or not.
Go to (Apple menu)->About this Mac.
Post a screenshot, not including the serial number.
Or tell us what the model and year are: it may say something like MacBook Air (13", mid 2015).
The model and year will let us and you know if it is supported in Ventura.
This is my second Mac Air that has "aged out". (I imagine the new Ventura MacOS uses new hardware.)
I'm told that for my model (MacBook Air 11", late 2015) security updates will continue.
How long can I expect to get these updates, typically, before I age out?
You can also check if your Mac is compatible here…
FWIW, there was no Late 2015 MacBook Air. Assuming you have an Early 2015 MacBook Air and you are running Monterey on it, it will be supported for at least 2 years.
Yes mine is "early" thank you for that and thank you for the security advice.
you're welcome.
