Things to Be Aware of when Upgrading:

A. 32-bit Apps won't Work Past Big Sur:

Note that 32-bit Apps will not work on Catalina and after. So, older apps may not run. The workaround for that is to contact the developer, requesting a 64-bit installer for it.

B. First, Back up your Mac:

Create a Time Machine backup of your Mac, so that you can have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong with the upgrade.
