how can i upgrade my macbook to big sur? I had it and when i reset it it went to el capitan and is not allowing me to upgrade to the newer swoftware

Hi, ChrisBruns, maybe i can help you… big sur has certain hardware requirements.. if your MacBook meets them, great, then you’re good to go.. i’ve posted a link, or you can click on the top link referenced in this post to see if your Macbook meets those requirements.. you can find out what kind of MacBook you have by going to ‘About this Mac’.. anyways here’s the link : https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT212551
