Elements 15 could not run on Catalina which required Elements 2020 and above.  I'm sure the same is true of Big Sur.

If you are talking about your Organizer catalog files, they will be converted to Elements 2021 when you install the new program, and you will have all of the information available in Elements 15.  (BTW, Elements 2021 is actually version 19.  Program folders may be named 19.0.)
