I cannot install Monterey on my MacBook Air (2017). Anyone else have this problem?

I have a MacBook Air 2017. I am unable to complete an installation of Monterey OS. I get to two minutes remaining and the install stops. Has anyone else had this problem?

Hello there Monteryinstallation,


Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities! It sounds like you're having an issue installing the upgrade to macOS Monterey on your MacBook Air. Look for an installer in the downloads folder and put it in the trash. Then try downloading the update again. If the issue persists, try reinstalling the current software using macOS Recovery and then downloading the update again.
