Installing Big Sur onto an iMac getting to the final point and it seems to be stuck...... showing “less than a minute remaining” this has been showing for over 45 minutes now !!
HELP ?

Hi mad in wigan,
If it has been 45 minutes, go ahead and turn off the iMac by pressing and holding the power button. Give it a moment, then turn it back on. See if it then finishes up.
Cheers,
Jack
Let it run like that overnight, if the problem persists please try to restart in Safe Mode per the directions in Use Safe Mode to isolate issues with your Mac
Does it still have the same time remaining?
Exactly the same Jack
How much free space do you have on your boot drive. Big Sur requires a minimum of 35.5 GB and more, over 50 GB, for older systems.
Hi Jack
thanks, but sadly no luck
Cheers

Shut down the computer then hold down the power button on startup for about 15 seconds and release.
Thanks but no joy,
appreciate your response
I’m shutting it down now !!
