When I try to upgrade to Monterey I get the message that the file cannot be found. I am running a mid-2015 iMac 27" that is supposed to be compatible with Monterey. Is there a macOS Monterey alternate dowload site?

I have the same issue (iMac 5K from 2015 can't find Monterey update) but I'd like to add some details.

• Software Update says I'm up to date. (I have 11.6.1)
• However, If I search for Monterey in the App Store, I see it, and it says it "Works with this Mac".
• When I click on the Get button it takes me back to System Update but with the error as noted by original poster "Update Not Found - The requested version of macOS is not available.

Edit: Apparently I have a 2014 iMac. I thought it was 2015. So the bug for me is that the App Store should not show it as compatible.

It's not compatible.

Late 2015 is compatible not mid 2015 your last OS is Big Sur.

What exactly is your experience, you can’t find the upgrade (not update) or your Mac does not meet the minimum requirement for Monterey?
