On a 2018 15-inch Macbook Pro, I just forgot to keep my OS up to date and now I can't even connect to the app store, but the Monterrey Installer did download although it tells me my internal HD is not compatible with the update. Any ideas on how I could deal with this?
I have 100+ GB of free space storage, btw, 2.6 GHz intel core i7 and 16 GB memory.
Internal drive: PCI-Express Internal Physical Disk • GUID Partition Map

I think you need to convert your drive format to APFS

Use Disk utility and select your drive - go to the edit menu and convert to APFS

The option is grayed out, not available. :(. Do you think that if I do a clean install from a bootable drive, that will work? I do have everything backed up onan external drive through time machine, but clean installs always give me the creeps.

It sounds like something else is wrong.
You should still be able to connect to the App Store that is in High Sierra (my iPad 2 still does on ios9).

Also how big is your boot drive?
You REALLY need at least 25% free for normal usage.
