Thanks but unfortunately not an option. Brand new mini with no other data on it. Won't properly run app I need on version 10.15.6. Runs fine on my laptop which is 10.15.5 so was hoping to be able to install the 10.15.5 version.

The simplest way is to restore the Mac from either a Time Machine backup (that you did BEFORE you upgraded) or from a clone copy.

Did your new mini come with 10.15.6? If so, then it cannot be downgraded.
