Hi! My 2016 Macbook Air has MacOS Sierra 10.12.6.
I just started school and wanted to download notability but that requires MacOS 10.15. My Mac has no system updates, I checked on app store. Whats the deal? Is my Macbook too old? :/

Hi Zoro,
Thanks for reaching out to us.
I was able to find the following Apple KB article which covers the devices that are compatible with Catalina.
- macOS Catalina is compatible with these computers
You can find a similar document for MacOS Big Sur as well. Your MacBook Air is not present on the lists so it will not be compatible with these OS'.
The similar page on macOS Monterey states that MacBook Air models Early 2015 or newer are compatible:

The page on how to install macOS Monterey includes a link to the download:

Good luck.
Thanks for sharing this information!
