How do I update to Monterey on my Mac ?I’ve have tried everything
If an error occurred while updating or installing macOS - Apple Support
That or the Internal Drive may have failed.
That can only be determined by a visit to Apple Authorized Service Provider or Visit a Genius at an Apple Store
Is your Mac compatible?
macOS Monterey is compatible with these computers - Apple Support
If so, what happens when you try?
There are reports appearing on the ASC Forums regarding failed installation of Monterey on older Qualifying Apple Computers. In most cases this is related to having a NON Apple Original internal drive ?
The EFI Boot ROM included in Monterey is verifying for Original Apple Drive and if not found , may Balk or fail to upgrade to Monterey.
Reports indicate the EFI BOOT ROM is Required to Flash the Computer and is a requirement for a Successful Monterey Installation

Q - "I have cleaned storage and all other areas"
A - How was this done / achieved ?

Perhaps once the user ( you ) potentially answer the earlier questions reliable and accurately we may have some idea how the computer is in this situation.
Once that is done, we may be able to offer accurate and reliable potential solution(s)
Please understand we what to assist but need this important information as we are not there to see the computer and in what condition it is.
EDITED.
No the entire drive was not erased. I have operating system. I receive the massage storage system verify or repair failed-69716. I press ok. Then it looks like it’s updating to Monterey. But when it restarts. It’s Catalina!
It just kepts spinning. But I restarted Mac a few times. Now it looks like it’s updating. We’ll see!?
I just won’t update. Says failed no storage. But a have emptied everything. I have space everywhere
I have cleaned storage and all other areas. My computer is compatible. Still saying lack of storage. It installs it. Then tells me to open in disc. But will not update to Monterey still
I keep getting a sign saying. … storage system verify or repair failed -69716. What do I do to correct that
Thanks. I’ll be going to a service provider.
