My MacBook Pro from early 2013 with OS 10.15.7 won

My MacBook Pro from early 2013 with OS 10.15.7 won't upgrade to Big Sur. The comment I receive from the App store is upgrade is not available but Big Sur requirements says 2013 and newer MacBook Pro is compatible. Can I upgrade or does it take a newer MacBook Pro than 2013?

An early 2013 MacBook Pro won't upgrade past Catalina. A late 2013 will upgrade to Big Sur.
