12 years old? I think you got your money's worth to be honest. I'd buy new, and forget trying to update.

Yes, I too am limited with an older iMac (10.13.6) High Sierria. I'm allowing it to age gracefully until it can't take another browser or iTunes update and will deal with the expense then. As gaming is not my bag, this will allowthe highest ROI of the existing machine -- good luck to you.

What you may want to consider is doing a Time Machine backup, then with your new Mac during initial setup it will ask if you want to copy from a Time Machine backup from an older mac. You can do that all the apps that are compatible will carry over, some likely won't because of incompatibilities. But it can save you a lot of effort if you wanted to keep your old stuff.
