@Darrell1674,

No.  Install will never be updated as CS6 is discontinued and no longer supported.

  • Either revert to an older OS that supports 32-bit apps.
  • Or get an old computer you can dedicate to legacy Creative Suite. 
  • And buy modern 64-bit software to run on Big Sur and beyond.


MODERN OPTIONS:
Photoshop Elements or Premier Elements 2020 (approx $100, no subscription needed)

CS6 is not compatible with Big Sur. You will not be able to install it.

 

To run Adobe apps on Big Sur, you will need a Cloud plan to run the latest versions of the apps which are compatible with Big Sur.
