Ok thank you for the suggestion.

I was able to get the download to start, but the estimated wait time is 48 hours. It apparently keeps refreshing and estimating a new allotted time amount which progressively is longer. It looks like the progress bar is not starting the download. Will starting in safe boot mode make the download time better?

I have fast internet.


Thanks Leroy, appreciate the help
