Transfer iPhone 8 to IPhone 7. Update stuck.

Hello everyone, i recently smashed my iPhone 8 screen and my Dad gave me his old iPhone 7. I get as far as transferring, but as soon I update to iOS 15 it just doesn’t go any further.

i thought it was because dads iPhone 7 only has 32gb memory, but I’m only using 24gb on my iPhone 8. I’ve reset the phone 3 times and again the same thing, it just can’t get past the latest update.

any help gratefully recieved.

cheers

iPhone 6, iOS 12

If there's not enough space to update

If you can't connect your device to your computer, you can make room for the update by removing content and apps on your device that you don't use. Go to Settings > General > [Device name] Storage. Learn more about the space your apps and content use.
