I have a Late 2013 Retina 13" MacBook Pro, 16 GB RAM and 1 TB SSD. MacOS 11.0.1 had blocked this model of MacBook Pro from installing the new OS. So, I did not install MacOS 11 or 11.0.1.
Yesterday MacOS11.1 was released and MY MavBook has a message to install this update. I am being pestered to install update.
BUT, I am concerned whether the new update is compatible with my MacBook Pro. I cannot find any information.
HELP!
Apple had previously taken your MacBook off the list of updates because of an issue with 11.01 with older Macs. Apparently Apple has fixed that issue, and has now added older MacBooks back on the update list. Having said that I would NOT update unless you have a full backup of your computer, just in case something happens. You should be backing up your MacBook regularly anyways. Also, once you update to 11.1 you will not be able to backup your computer with CCC or SuperDuper, so keep that in mind. this will eventually get fixed, but it is currently an issue with Big Sur.
If this is your only computer, I would wait a week or two to see how other older MacBooks react to 11.1 before updating your own. You should be able to turn the update reminder off in settings.

Thank you very much for your kind and prompt response.
It was my pleasure nareshfromhudson.
CCC can now backup Big Sur.
As advised by MyApple8MyPC, I will wait a few days before updating to MacOS 11 or its latest version. Thanks again MyApple8MyPC.
