Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello,
I am trying to update my Mac Mini from El Capitan to High Sierra, and the progress bar has frozen near the end. It has not moved for over an hour.
What can I do to fix this?
Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X El Capitan (10.11.6)
"It has not moved for over an hour."
It’s possible the disk needs repairing.
Shut down your Mac then startup while holding down the Command + R keys. From there you should be able to access the built in utilities in OS X Recoveryto repair the startup disk and restore OS X.
High Sierra requires about 15 GB’s of storage space for the upgrade.
Then try upgrading to Upgrade to macOS High Sierra - Official Apple Support

Thank you.
I just did a clean install of El Capitan a week ago, and when I did that I ran Apple Hardware Test and disk first aid, both found no issues.
I’m not near my computer right now, but when I get home, I’ll try first aid again.
I would let it continue for another 30 mins. If nothing happens, power the Mac off with the power button, then try and boot it up.
