If your Apple device does not meet the system requirements for macOS 14, then ITS recommends upgrading to macOS 13 (Ventura), or macOS 12 (Monterey). These are the system requirements for macOS 13 and 12:
 
Ventura (13):  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT213264
Monterey (12):  https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212551
 
If your Apple device is 5 or more years old, you may want to consider purchasing a new computer. Should your Apple device not meet the system requirements for macOS 12, you are strongly encouraged to replace your Apple device with one that does meet the system requirements.
 
Before upgrading to macOS 12, 13, or 14, or purchasing a new computer, you should also verify that the applications that you use will run on macOS 12 or higher; you may have to install or purchase updated versions of your applications.
