Typically, when either updating or upgrading macOS, the whole process should take less than an hour; however, there are a number of factors that could prevent that from happening.


Those include:

  • Your Internet connection.
  • Your local network. That is, how you connect your Mac to your local router.
  • The health of your Mac's internal drive.
