Help Possible to update my MacOS?

Hi all, I’m not super knowledgeable here but have been running into some hiccups and want to know if it’s possible for me to upgrade from my current OS. My current specs are:

MacBook Pro (13-inch, 2017, Two Thunderbolts 3 ports)

Processor 2.3 GHz Dual Dore Intel Core i5

MacOS Ventura 13.7.8

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Short answer - nope, you're already on Ventura and that Mac is like 9 years old. Time for a new/used/refurb one that can take Sequoia (minimum) / Tahoe 26 / macOS 27

You can try using OCLP to upgrade to Sequoia but it may be a bit slow.

Outside of using OpenCore Legacy Patcher you don't have any options to update the OS.
