If Your Mac shipped with Monterey then no you can not downgrade the macOS.

Probably Monterey at this point. It's been out for several months now.

Doesn't appear like you can downgrade though: https://www.reddit.com/r/mac/comments/qm44bp/possible_to_downgrade_to_big_sur_on_the_new_2021/

The original 13-in M1 was issued with 11.01 20B29 Big Sur.

However, using an older MacOS with a new MacBook with new processor would likely be a mistake. Apple does not tend to reach back to fix problems in older MacOS, unless security is involved. The best fixes to ongoing issue are provided in newest versions of MacOS.

The first question they will ask you if you present your Mac with a problem is, "Have you updated to the latest macOS ... so that we do not have to troubleshoot and 're-invent the wheel' over issues already found and resolved?"

The 13-in will run Big Sur.

what is on it now?
