Is mid-2015 iMac compatible with Monterey?

My iMac is from mid-2015. It is not automatically updating to Monterey. Is it new enough to upgrade to Monterey, or is it stuck at Big Sur?

Upgrade to Monterey? I am receiving prompts to upgrade my iMac (21.5-inch, 2017) to Monterey. Says here it should be compatible, but when I tried to upgrade from my current Mojave to Big Sur some time ago I had to undo it because of issues. No problems now. Upgrade?

iMac won't upgrade. I have an iMac 2017 iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017) it will not upgrade to Monterey. Says I am up to date, which is Big Sur. On searching it indicates that my iMac can use Monterey, "iMac introduced in late 2015 or later" shown on Apple's service site. Why won't it update?

Software Update keeps searching for Monterey OS and not finding. How can I get my iMac to upgrade to Monterey OS from Big Sur if it won't find it with Software update? I have checked compatibility, decluttered, backed up, turned off ad block, and tried to get Monterey on the Apple store (but it just tries to search on Software Update again). It can try "Finding Update..." for over an hour and keep on searching. Do I need to let it search longer before I give up?
