For some reason I can't upgrade to El Capitan.

Anyone else have this problem?

it is advised you make a full backup before upgrading your OS


it is preferable to use a wired connection to your router or cable modem instead of wi-fi, and to suspend any other device on the router that is downloading or streaming .
