What can I do to upgrade to latest OS on my Macbook Air13, 2017? Currently I am using OS Monterey. If I buy and connect the external hard drive, would I be able to upgrade OS? if so which external hard drive would be compatible?
MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.6

No. That machine is not capable of running anything later than Monterey. There are no upgrades you can made that will make it possible to run anything later.
OS Upgrade
