EOS utility outdated for Rebel xs seeking a "work around"

MiriamH

I have a Canon Rebel xs ( bought new in 2017) mounted overhead to capture jpegs remotely on my Mac OSMonterey 12.6.6. After not using the set up for 8 months, I opened my laptop to find the icons ghosted out with alerts that those features needed updating. Not finding downloads available, Canon customer service informed me that my camera is "out of service life", and that they no longer provide updates. I want to avoid buying a new camera - I like this one and it is like new! Does anyone know a good way to capture live high res. jpegs in sequence remotely with my Rebel xs so that I can continue to make stop motion animations, without using the EOS which I no longer have?

You can easily revert a Mac to the OS that was available when it was purchsed:

Thanks kvbarkley.

The best solution I have come up with is to partition the hard drive on my MAC laptop.  I will have two systems with an option to choose the older OS when I need to access my Canon EOS. Sounds good. Cost is less than a new camera and I don't have to learn how to get comfortable all over again with new camera or new software for making my stop motion films. Many thanks to the Canon community for the suggestions here.
