Update to Big Sur 15.1

I have a new M1 24-inch iMac with Big Sur 14.1. Should I update to 15.1? I’m concerned about possible impact on Final Cut Pro and iMovie.


Thanks for any feedback.

Big Sur - the latest version available for public release is version 11.5.1. It fixes bugs in earlier versions and also fixes a Security issue existing in version 11.5


Do you have a Rescue Plan In-Place. This comprises having 3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 Off Site incase of Theft, Loss or Natural Disasters. A Time Machine Backup  is very useful and can be used to Revert to Previous Working macOS. For addition purposes - two Tested Bootable Clones each to separate external drives. This is insurance incase the upgrades goes sideways. At least one Tested Clone and / or Time Machine Backup should be Off - Site
