What hardware update does Monterey need?
My late 2014 Mac mini cannot install Monterey from Big Sur (11.6.5) because it says it needs a hardware update first, but does not identify either the hardware or the update or where to find it. What gives?

Post a screenshot of the alert. Maybe a firmware update is needed but the installer has that built-in.
