MacOS Catalina (10.15.7) remains one of the most stable and popular versions of Apple’s operating system.

Wait for the download to complete. The installer will save directly into your folder as Install macOS Catalina.app .

Before you use the downloaded Install macOS Catalina.app (or a DMG file), it is a best practice to verify that the file is complete and unaltered. This is particularly important if you obtained the file from a non‑official source (which we advise against). Verification is done using checksums.

Those apps/apks that appear on your launcher “greyed out” means you will have to reinstall them....e.g BBC I player etc. Just go to your search engine and download from whichever store you wish, install them and they will turn from grey to a normal colour.
You can make apk backups so you don't need to download them again. Making the process a little quicker.
Just don't forget to make sure those backups are stored on external storage before flashing the device!

An easy way to do this is using the App feature in Cx File Explorer or ES File Explorer or any other app that allows apk backup.

I always make sure I have an apk backup before updating any app so I can return to an older version if needed.
