Welcome, patel151, to Apple Support Communities!


You will not be able to upgrade a «late 2011 MacBook Pro» (13”?) to Big Sur, but you might be able to upgrade it to 10.14 (Mavericks, I think).


You will not be able to do the upgrade through the Update Panel, but you should be able to find macOS 10.14 on the Mac App Store.
