If your computer still has a standard hard drive or fusion drive, I’ve noticed quite a lot of them running very bad on BigSur. I would suggest either replacing the hard drive of the fusion drive with a 2.5 inch SSD or going back to macOS Catalina.

Where is the hard physically located? I'm having a very hard time disconnecting the cables from the display or the chassis. I have purchased a SSD that I will try to install if I can get there.

Reboot your system and press the D key to enter into diagnostics. Did you get any errors?
