Apple will officially support up to High Sierra (10.13.6) but not Catalina. To upgrade to High Sierra it will require a minimum OS of Mountain Lion (10.8) before the High Sierra installer will run.

I do not know if the failed/disabled dGPU will be a problem.

Here is a Apple Support instructions that has requirements and download links to older macOS:
