Can’t login to APP Store to update my mac from Yosemite to Monterey

Hi guys, yesterday I decided to format my old Macbook Air since it had no space left, I wanted a fresh start. Now it’s back to OsX 10.10 Yosemite and I want to update it to monterey, but everytime I try to login to the app store and I enter my mail and password it wont work. Any suggestion on how I can work this through? Is there a way to download monterey (or big sur) without the app store?
