MacBook Air OS Big Sur will not update

No matter how many times I try to update to the latest MacOS Big Sur release, my MacBook Air will not update. It is currently stuck at the version it arrived with last fall: Version 11.1. After the New Your Times article about the security issue of Apple products, I am anxious to fix this so I can download any fixes. I am horrible at technology; any ideas for a computer-challenged person like me? Thank you!

If your "Upgrade Now" button does not work, try restarting your MacBook and try again. If it still doesn't work try pressing "Automatically keep my Mac up to date".
