macOS Catalina to Big Sur upgrade not working

I recently found out that I can upgrade my MacBook Pro 13” mid 2012 which runs on Catalina to Big Sur, which would be very useful but all ways that I tried do not work. No software updates is available and I can not find A Big Sur download on App Store.

Any help?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.15
