You can't install Big Sur on a 2021 MBP. It's too new.

Just to add, if you look at the compatibility list, 2020 MBPs are the latest that are compatible.

Thanks so much

Two of their sites listed the 2021 as being compatible.

I'll take your answer - thanks for the straight story,

Warmest,

You're welcome. Where did you see a 2021 MacBook Pro was compatible? They came originally shipped with Monterey 12.0.
