Your MacBook Pro from 2014 can upgrade to all OS's that are available.
Mac OS X El Capitan 10.11, macOS Sierra 10.12, macOS High Sierra 10.13, macOS Mojave 10.14, macOS Catalina 10.15
and the latest macOS Big Sur 11.0.
Just so you know the App Store Updates page only shows updates available for the OS you are running at the time.
For all OS's up to macOS Catalina
Open Safari and click on this link,
How to get old versions of macOS – Apple Support
Go to the Download OS section and click on the OS you want to install.
If you want to upgrade to Mojave, Catalina or Big Sur I would recommend upgrading to
macOS High Sierra first.
Before upgrading make a full back up of your Mac.
Check that third party apps you use have updates available for the new OS.
Check that your printers/ scanners etc have updated drivers and software available for the new OS.
Connect your mac to your router via cable rather than rely on WiFi.
Do not use your mac while it is downloading
and do not use any other devices that share the same internet connection.
If the App Store says ‘Open’ then it is detecting a previous download of the install app
go to the Applications folder locate Install macOS ******.app.
Move it to the Trash, empty the Trash.
Restart, click on the link again, the App Store should say ‘Get' or 'Download'.
If you want to install Big Sur, open Safari and click on the link below.

If you are considering upgrading to Catalina or Big Sur be warned they do not support 32bit apps.
Your Mac is probably running 32bit apps and these will need to be updated to 64bit apps,
some updates may be free, some may be paid. Use this app to discover which apps you have
are 32bit, https://www.stclairsoft.com/Go64/ then contact the developers of the software to see
if they are offering 64bit updates.
