I managed to upgrade to Sierra 10.12.6. Whats the next step for me? MacBook Air (13-inch, Early 2014) Processor: 1.4 GHz Intel Core i5 Memory: 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Graphics: Intel HD Graphics 5000 1536 MB

I want to have the latest yet most compatible software! Catalina from Appstore is still not installing '...target volume failed' Should I download a previous software (High Sierra or Mojave) the same way I downloaded Sierra? If yes then which one is the best one for my MacBook and its health...? also do you have a download link for your recommendation?

    I would recommend macOS High Sierra (aka 10.13) first: support.apple.com/en-us/HT208969 You could then make a bootable clone of your system and further upgrade to a later macOS, or given sufficient free space, partition your drive and install a later macOS to test it for compatibility and features.

MacBook Air Early 2014 allows to update to macOS Catalina (10.15), even the yet unreleased macOS BigSur (11.0) will run on it.

I suggest to use macOS Recovery installer with opt + cmd + R during a restart to upgrade to the latest macOS that is compatible with your Mac.
