Upgrading from macOS 10.12.6

Hello all

It looks like we'll have to upgrade the OS on my wife's 2014 iMac. She's running into problems most notably unable to get to webbroker on the td site using Safari 12.2.1. No updates can I find for Safari without updating the OS.

To which OS should we update? And do we have to go step by step? 10.12 to 10.13 to 10.14 etc. She has no hesitation in going as far as she can (!!).

10.12.6 is no longer supported so we cam't see available updates in System Preferences.

Where do we find the OS to update to?

And then we just download it. Right? I've done the CCC backup.

Thanks.
David

You know what? I think I'm going to try to erase the disk, download the OS to dvd, and re-install 10.7 Lion. I have never done such a thing, the gift MBP is essentially disposable and it will very interesting to see what a difference the process makes..
Find a DVD, download Lion, save to DVD, eject DVD. Disk Utility, Erase HDD, turn off. Insert DVD. Observe. Right?
