Install has been stuck for four hours on the Apple screen, with status bar at 100%...

I tried rebooting and status bar quickly went to 100% and again stuck...

tried to turn on verbose mode (all the ctrl keys and w, Apple key and v or l) and got nothing...

Had the same issue. What helped me:

  1. Turn off your laptop
  2. Start your computer and quickly push Command - Option/Alt - R and hold
  3. Release when an image of Earth pops up
  4. Connect to Wi-Fi (it was disconnected for some reason)
  5. Click Reinstall Big Sur

Good luck

Had the same issue on a Macbook Air (2014) and could resolve the issue following the recommendation in the previous comment. Thank you for sharing Pzavora!
