MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2017), can't upgrade to Monterey?

[sparkie7]

It's only 4 years old and obsolete according to Apple?

Thanks. But when I got to  > About this Mac > Software Update..

..It's not available or showing an update option for Monterey. What am I missing?

That's weird. If you try to download Monterey through the Mac App Store, can you install it?

check your firmware, make sure that is updated.
what are we running now, Sierra?

I haven't tried that yet. I've always gone via About this Mac > update

Is it worth updating to Monterey, or should I stick with High Sierra. Pros vs Cons ?

MOJAVE is great, Catalina is good, High Sierra was not nice with my MacBook air or mini.
BigSur and Monterey will work well on your macbook pro tho.
try to install all of these and back up each one, if possible and save the one you like and plays well with your programs.

I had Mojave on my 2017 15” MBP. I went to the mac app store and searched for Monterey and I was able to install macos monterey just fine on the MBP.

Monterey is fine, not much visible differences from Big Sur anyway.
