Your current version of Big Sur is macOS 11.6.2 stay current if necessary...

Your machine needs the original Apple SSD in place for the firmware update to happen...

Compare your tech specs and your machine is eligible for Monterey macOS 12.1

A slow download speed is always suspect, if this is you then try getting on a faster Network if possible.


You can try from a Safeboot and then try initiating the download from this environment, also

verify you are using the Safari browser to initiate/download the macOS links.



if no success you can try from the Terminal.app copy & paste:

sudo softwareupdate --fetch-full-installer --full-installer-version 12.1

Check and see if the full installer is siting in your Applications folder..(?)

"Install macOS Monterey.app"


You can launch it from there like an other application.
