Refer to Unenroll your devices and read the instruction manual for macOS.

Big Sur is a terrible OS--it has blocked several of my most-used apps and tools. I would like to revert to the previous version of the OS. Does anyone have suggestions for reverting to the previous OS? Or, better yet, for a way to find out why Big Sur is blocking many of my apps and tools?

One other thing you should know. When you do your OS downgrade, be sure to quit the Big Sur beta test program. If memory serves me, you go to About This Mac, open the window and click on Updates. That opens a window with an unsubscribe link on the lower left side. Otherwise, you will continue getting update messages.

As far as blocking your apps and tools. They may need updated for Big Sur.
