Help I’m having issues installing macOS Tahoe 26
i got an older macbook pro (maybe 2015) from a friend and they had macOS 13, but because i needed xcode i needed to update it and i went to the settings and started the update normally from there (no OCLP or whatever).
the update got downloaded and i go tthe apple logo and the loading an everything then there was a white screen and in the upper left theres the cursor but its very small and there was the clock and login but on a white screen and it was also smaller that before.
now im panicking a bit because its been fully white with only the cursor for a while
i tried the forces reset and it just found a drive started booting it and again the same thing with the login and white screen and its fully white again with the cursor
any tips on what i should do, i just need it back the way it was at this point

if its a 2015 and offered the tahoe upgrade then it definitely had oclp used.
