iMac Late 2013 with off-brand SSD...how to update to Big Sur OS?

I have an iMac Late 2013 with off-brand SSD and 32 GB of off-brand RAM...how to update to Big Sur OS? I was hoping to use the new Adobe CC with the Beta AI but it says I need Mac OS 11.0 or higher.

The Late 2013 iMac cannot be updated to run Big Sur. You would need at least a Mid 2014 iMac to qualify for Big Sur.
