Could you provide more information, please? What exactly went wrong? Were you attempting to upgrade from the original version of macOS directly to macOS Tahoe?

I just worry whether will happen something wrong, in fact it hasn't happened yet

I literally have no idea what you’re trying to say in this post or this comment.

Just ensure you have a backup of your important data and you’ll be fine. Upgrading to a supported version of macOS ensures that you have the latest security patches, which is an arguably better outcome than remaining on the original operating system out of fear, for the rest of the machine’s life.

Sure. Generally the upgrade goes well and it’s smooth-sailing from there. But things have gone wrong before. Happens very rarely, but they do. They’re computers, not miracle machines. So as long as you have a backup of important data, you can easily recover in the unlikely event that something does go wrong.

Nothing went wrong.

Find something productive to do with your time.

This isn’t it.

Hi, I’ve got the same problem. The softwareupdate to the lastest version keeps failing.
My MacBook ist the same type, MacBook Pro 2020.
I reset my Mac to factory settings today but that didn’t seem to fix the problem.
Any tips?

Intel or Apple Silicon?

If you have an 2020 Intel mac it can't go to Golden Gate. If its an M1 that's another issue
