Hey ChesNan,
We understand that an update or macOS upgrade has been downloaded to your MacBook Pro, but it's not installing. Do you see an error message when trying to install it? Additional details can be helpful. To clarify, are you trying to do an update to a newer version of what is already installed on your MacBook Pro (for example, going from macOS Big Sur 11.2.2 to macOS Big Sur 11.2.3) or upgrading to a different macOS version (for example, from macOS Catalina 10.15 to macOS Big Sur 11)?
If you are upgrading, you'll want to make sure that your MacBook Pro meets compatibility requirements as seen in the articles below:
You can also see if restarting your MacBook Pro helps: Log out, sleep, wake, restart, or shut down your Mac
Take care!
