Can we upgrade from Catalina to Big Sur first, instead of Monterey?

Can I upgrade from Catalina to Big Sur first, instead of Monterey?


My 'Software Update' notification only shows an option to upgrade to Monterey.


I could not find the Big Sur Option.


Thank you in advance for any input.

MacBook Pro 16″, macOS 10.15

Hi musicismygas,


I have had to do this on my old iMac and I found older versions of macOS here: How to get old versions of macOS – Apple Support (UK)


This page contains minimum requirements for each version of macOS and the download links to OS X 10.10 Yosemite and later. Hope this helps
