This seems to be a bug catching on. So, report it to Apple. To do so...

New User:

It took me three tries. I had to create a new user to install it.


Important:

Backup First: Know to always backup your mac prior to making any major change your Mac (i.e. update installation) that way you would have something to restore your Mac from, should anything go wrong after you make the change.

Suggest Shutdown Router, Shutdown Computer. Restart Router. Disconnect all external drive and connect computer via Ethernet Cable - Wifi is iffy at best. Restart computer in Recovery Mode - Command + r - Immediately at startup, Presented with options - Choose Reinstall macOS. This should in theory download the Full Installer of the most up-to-date version of macOS Big Sur. Once is does its' magic and installs ( fingers crossed ) follow all prompts. It should eventually present the Setup Assist under Macs 11.2 1 or maybe 11.2.2 ( latest at this time).


If attempting via Wifi same procedure as above except - Disconnect ALL OTHER device using the Wifi. Want the Max Bandwidth for this computer.
