No matter how many times I try to update to the latest MacOS Big Sur release, my MacBook Air will not update. It is currently stuck at the version it arrived with last fall: Version 11.1. After the New Your Times article about the security issue of Apple products, I am anxious to fix this so I can download any fixes. I am horrible at technology; any ideas for a computer-challenged person like me? Thank you!

If your "Upgrade Now" button does not work, try restarting your MacBook and try again. If it still doesn't work try pressing "Automatically keep my Mac up to date".
System Preferences
click on Software Update. InSoftware Update
, click on the Update Now or Upgrade Now button. This will download all the macOS Big Sur updates and install it on your system automatically. Make sure you are connected to the internet, and your MacBook is plugged for charging. This may take anywhere between an hour to a few hours, depending on your net connection speed. If you are getting any error here, or facing any issue with these steps, tell us.softwareupdate -d -a
