Catalina OS install
How many hours does Catalina require to install? I started the download almost 5 hours ago and have seen no change with the progress bar on screen or with the "estimating time remaining" message on screen.

If your Mac is stuck on the 'Setting Up Your Mac' screen - Apple Support says:
"This stage should take no more than 10 minutes to complete. If it never completes, your Mac might be unable to quit the setup assistant, even though setup is complete.
To resolve, press and hold the power button on your Mac for up to 10 seconds, until your Mac turns off. Then turn your Mac back on. Your Mac should now start up normally."

I progressed through download and have been stuck in the install stage. I powered down several hours ago and then restarted it. It is showing no progress. I have a MBP2016. I'll leave it overnight, but have never seen an OS change take this long.
My Catalina install started last night around 11 PM and this morning at 7:30 I still had the progress bar over 90% - no other words.
