Which exact model is your iMac? What version of macOS was it running prior to installing Big Sur? Did you perform a complete backup BEFORE updating/upgrading to Big Sur?


Did you perform a "clean" install, i.e., completely erased the system drive, and then, installed Big Sur, or just performed an upgrade? For either, where was the source that you got Big Sur from?
