If your Mac fully supports the newest macOS (Big Sur) you may be able to install

the 'installer' & then see if that finally loads the new system; that could take time.

Depending on what the Mac configuration is, and if the hardware is capable of

supporting Big Sur (no rotational HDD, & among later/recent hardware w/ SSD)

you could try restarting in Safe mode. ~ That has been known to be helpful.

Not sure what else you may need to try, for this system upgrade to fully work.

Good luck & happy computing!
