Apple Intelligence is now available on iPhone, iPad, and Mac!
Anyone having difficulty with macOS Big Sur update install? My iMac (Retina 4K, 21.5 “, 2015) shows the update is available, but when I click install, the Mac just searches for update rather than installing it. It currently has macOS BigSur Version 11.6.1 installed.

A - Suggest downloading the Application Etrecheck directly from a well Respected ASC Contributor. And Safe to use.
The application is free or paid from added features.
Run the application with Full Disc Access ( Security & Privacy - Full Disc Access ).

Firstly and very important >> Version Big Sur 11.6.1 ( Oct 26, 2021 ) installed is very outdated and suggest updating to current version 11.6.5 before attempting the Monterey upGrade.
Have seen several persons attempting to Jump to Monterey with outdated versions of older version of macOS and often times without success.
as well as the advice provided by P.Phillips re updating big sur before attempting the upgrade, i would try and boot into safe mode, then try and download and install the monterey upgrade while still in safe mode.
Thanks. Curious why auto updates may not be installing! I have the box checked.
Anyone having difficulty with Monterey loading
