Download Big Sur through the link provided; you can start the Migration Assistant later by choosing Utilities in the Finder's Go menu and opening it, but it'll transfer home folders into a different user account.

You can also keep Catalina and transfer data/apps during initial setup if you so desire. Both OS do not have to be the same.
