Hi there, I am trying to update my iMac (2017 27inch) computer from Catalina OS to Big Sur. The Software update is stuck and won't show update. Update is also not shown in App store and when I manually try to download from App Store it also gets stuck ‘Finding Update’’. Can you advise on how I can update my OS please? Thanks
iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 10.15
Try starting in Safe Mode and try Software Update again or the AppStore download, while you are in Safe Mode.

Use the native Safari Browser as Others may not work as well.

You are welcome and thank you too.

Hi there,
thanks for advice but that link opens in the App Store for Big Sur and I get the same problem with it getting stuck on finding the update.
Thanks that worked!
