Catalina to Monterey

I just did a reinstall and it installed Catalina. I have previously been using Monterey. Can I upgrade from Catalina to Monterey without going through all of the other upgrades?

Caution - jumping over all the newer versions and directly to Monterey on Qualifying computers is Technically possible - there are those who have attempted and were successful.


Then there are those who attempted and had less than good results.


If this is a Production or Mission Critical Set-up - a more prudent and measure approach is suggested


The above is from observations on the Apple Support Community Forums and IMHO
