One issue may be, you need approx. 20GBs of free space on your drive for it to install. If that's the case, you could try installing it while in Safe Mode.

Thank you! It was a storage issue, so I addressed that first to free up space, and successfully downloaded the update. I had checked storage but mistook a large gray category for emptiness! Had much less than the 20GB necessary.
