First, does the Internal SSD have at least 20+ GB Empty space? If not, the update will not install until there is enough space to allow it to do its thing.

Second, if the internal drive has the required empty space, then connect to charger, restart computer and immediately hold the SHIFT key ( Safe Mode ). Give it time as it will load much more slowly
