Hi namgay257,


If your Mac froze during installation, you can restart the update via macOS Recovery. Unfortunately, you will have to download the update again (unless you made a bootable installer earlier).


Power on your Mac while holding down Command-R (assuming it's not Apple Silicon). Release the keys when the Apple logo appears with a progress bar.


When prompted, enter your admin password. Then, select Install/Reinstall macOS, and follow the onscreen instructions.
