Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Hello JWR52 and welcome to Apple Support Communities. It appears you are having some difficulty installing Big Sur.


Start by going to the Applications folder. In that, you should see the Big Sur installer. Drag it to the Trash, empty the Trash, reboot the Mac and try again with a fresh download.


Cheers.
