an upgrade installation question

If you didn't upload to Big Sur, do need to before upgrading to Monterey? I currently have Mac OS Catalina Installed (10.15.7 version)

Thank you in advance

..KirstenG895:

Just be certain to have least two great backups on USB &/or maybe a separate

newer Mac; should a reach to get Monterey, be too far for old Mac's hardware..

The 'compatibility' issues may include your build model year and configuration.

Or, something important may be left out of the equation. A lot of tiny details..?!

Big Sur may be a last stop; if not Catalina, for the MacBook Pro.. esp. if one listed.
