Select the Apple () menu > About This Mac and from that panel, compare what is in parenthesis to macOS Big Sur is compatible with these computers - Apple Support. If that is satisfied, then visit How to download macOS - Apple Support with the Safari browser and download the full Big Sur installer to your /Applications folder.


Before you apply any upgrade from Catalina, confirm with any third-party application, printer and scanner vendors that they provide current software and drivers for Big Sur.


Perform a last Time Machine backup of your iMac before any upgrade.


Big Sur is currently at v11.7.3.
