What happens when you try?
Can you post a screenshot of the whole screen, it could reveal why you aren't able to update.
Make sure you:
• Are using a WiFi connection (not a hotspot).
• You have an active cell signal (You need both WiFi and cellular service to perform the upgrade).
• Are not using a VPN connection.
• Have your battery charged at least 50%. Better yet, keep it plugged in during the update.
• Do not have power save mode turned on.
• Do not have a beta version installed.
• You have at least 10 gigs of storage available.

Here's your answer, As Katana-San has pointed out, you need a WiFi connection. You can argue this all you want, it doesn't change the answer, no WiFi, no update.

But, you can't.
Then go ahead and do so, why are you still arguing this?

Probably filled with annoying ads. I remember when YouTube was fun. I'm old.
