Can't download or install macOS Sonoma - iMac Pro

I'm running an iMac Pro with MacOS 13.5.2 and I can't install macOS Sonoma. It starts downloading it from the Software Update area of System Settings but after a chunk of the 12.86 GB I get an error message that says "Installation failed - an error occurred while installing the selected updates."

Mac Pro, OS X 10.11

There were four different 2017 iMac models.

A standard 21.5" model that tops out at Ventura.

A standard 21.5" Retina model that tops out at Ventura.

A standard 27" Retina model that tops out at Ventura.

A 27" iMac Pro model that can can be upgraded to Sonoma.


Please verify exactly which 2017 iMac model you have.
