How do you update a software on a MacBook Air from 2014?

I have a MacBook Air from 2014, it is very out of date on it's software and I am unaware of how to update the software in order to download the Cricut Design Space.

MacBook Air 13″, OS X 10.10

Incompatibility Seems to be the Culprit:

Contact the Developer, asking them which is best for you. Provide them with your Mac's Model, Year and the macOS that is installed.

Finding Mac Info:

Click: Apple logo located in the far left corner of the taskbar

Select: About this Mac
