This is the first time that I have come across this issue as all previous upgrades were performed without any problem. I am not the most computer savvy individual, so please can someone advise me what to do.

Many thanks in advance.

Perhaps a Typo error and it does occur

" but I have a MacBook Pro 13" M1 2020. I've been advised that I have an upgrade to 13.1."

That would a Beta Software as the latest Publicly Released version os 13.0.1

There is a Beta 13.1 in Testing but not publicly released except to Developers and Beta Tester

Do you have a password set for your user account? I don't think it is possible to create one without a password, so it really is a shot in the dark.

No damage and sometimes my fingers have a mind of their own - that is my story and sticking with it 😁
