My current iMac, a mid 2015 running Big Sur, is failing and I'd like to buy a new iMac running the current OS. Will I be able to restore from my Time Machine that was running on Big Sur?
Earlier Mac models
You don’t really restore like before (though they still use that term). You just migrate your data, so the OS version doesn’t matter.
When you setup the new Mac, it will ask if you want to migrate from another Mac or a backup. It will move the entire user account over to the new Mac.

Yes, as long as the backup drive is fine.
Barney is correct. I should have added, only your data is restored. In other words, everything but macOS.
I have a time machine backup that was running on Big Sur. Will I be able to restore from it in the current os?
