Well you do not state what Mac, what macOS you are currently running and what you expect to update to...(?)

Does your Mac support an update OS... Verify your tech specs if in doubt.


Big Sur macOS 11.4

older macOS installer backups on this server:

verify you are using the Safari browser to download/initiate the macOS links.

For us to effectively answer OS update questions, we need more information from you:


1) Your MacBook Pro's sub-model.

2) Its current macOS version


Both are easily available by doing "About this Mac..." form your Apple menu to get a screen similar to this:



The ability to upgrade and how to do it depends on both those important pieces of information. Older MacBook Pros cannot run the latest macOS versions.
