I have a MacBook Pro, 2019, and wondered if anyone has had any issues when updating from the Catalina version to the Monterey software???

To avoid problems, before you upgrade to a major MacOS update:

1 - Update all your software apps, including your OS to the latest security update.

2 - Backup your entire HDD/SSD via Time Machine.

4 - Sync your iCloud if you use it…

5 - Run a first aid pass:

6 - As an extra you could also run a quick optimization of your disk space before the First Aid.
