will Big Sur load on early 2013

Thank you John. I had read that Big Sur would not run on early 13.. But I brought my laptop, MacBook Pro 15, to get a speaker replaced and the tech told me it would run on an early 13. I questioned him again and he told me it was a graphic card issue and the 4000 in my computer was sufficient. I decided to see how much I could find out and it wasn’t much. Even most Apple sites just say 2013. I could find a straight answer. The link you provided was the first I saw the early 2013 distinguished as incapable. I know what downloading the wrong code can do to ones nervous system so I think I’ll skip the grief.

Thanks, that’s disappointing but I suppose to keep moving forward it’s necessary. Since I’ve been retired new Macs are out of reach.
