@gveerusa, from the MacBook Pro ( 10.9.5 ) you are starting from,

I would recommand you to avoid too large a jump and a good compromise I choosed after testing all the recents versions

of MacOS on a MacBook Pro ( Retina, Mid 2015 ), is High Sierra: https://apps.apple.com/app/macos-high-sierra/id1246284741?mt=12 ( 10.13 ).

From many users reports, there are many problems with Big Sur.


I would advise you to strictly follow the 2 first recommandations of @Niel:

  • backup,
  • check compatibility of your applications.


And if you have this possibility, I suggest you to test the new version on an external disk so as to be able to roll back

in a few seconds ( by rebooting on your internal disk ).

This is the way I test all new versions without breaking my working environment.
