Q: Can't install Sierra because Photos update stalled
The new Sierra OS apparently included an update to Photos. Began Photos update first, it has been running for ~30hours "Building a library". Tried to complete install of Sierra which needs a restart-- of course all Apps must close to do restart, Photos won't close because it is building library! But now the little whirly progress ball is not whirling and there are no options in the Photos menu- all grayed out, Photos Version 1.0.1 (215.65.0). I am afraid to force quit incase closing Photos takes my 16000 images with it. Do have time machine back up.
Should I force quit Photos and install the Sierra, then restart photos or is there something else to be done?

Since it has been 7 hours I would force quit, backup and upgrade to Sierra
