Have you had issues upgrading an Early 2015 MacBook Pro, 13 inch to macOS Monterey from Big Sur Version 11.1?
MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 11.1
Once the computer is running the latest and Most up To Date Big Sur as long as the Internal Drive is Rotational or SSD and is an Original Apple Drive - it should upgrade to Monterey.

Welcome
Do come back to the ASC Forums, in the future, if / or when additional question may arise.
Very Best in the New Year !
Regarding type of Internal Drive - Traditional / Rotational Drives are must slower than SSD Drives
To Verify the Drive Type >> About this Mac >> Storage and refer to picture below. If the drive is Rotational or SSD The computer I am on says Flash Storage meaning SSD
Before doing anything - Big Sur 11.1 is very very out dated. The current version of Big Sur 11.6.2
Perform a Time Machine Backup is very useful and can be used to Revert to Previous Working macOS. before updating Big Sur.
Notation: Some( not all ) Users are experiencing issues and / or failures to upGrade to Monterey if the existing version of Big Sur is not totally up to date.
If you do not have an Apple SSD installed you can't upgrade to Monterey. The upgrade includes an update to the Mac's firmware. That update looks for an Apple disk and write to the dick to do the firmware update. The install will terminate or freeze if no Apple disk.
Thanks Phillips, I will find the updates to Big Sur and start with them. It is an Original Apple Drive, though not sure the type/make.
Thanks, but how do I figure out if I have an Apple SSD installed?
I read online that there are issues with upgrading the Early 2015 MacBook Pro, 13 inch to macOS Monterey, I am currently running Big Sur Version 11.1. Should I do it?
