I struggled with this for a few days and found the solution.


Put the device in to internet recovery. First, shutdown the computer and immediately after pressing the power button to turn it back on, press and hold Option + Command + R keys until you see a spinning globe. This will install Catalina over your Mojave, retaining all of your data and apps.
