This is huge jump— stair stepping your way up is most likely if you are trying to go the whole way.

Get to High Sierra for the stable release, then you may have success going to Big Sur.

Always have a reliable backup plan in place with your current back up—only in this way can you fall back if something goes side ways

What current software update...the macOS (?)

There are at least 52 models of MBP released since January 2006.

You will have to specify what exact Mac you have—software is dependent on your hardware...
