I’ve just attempted to apply the 2021 003 Catalina update to a late 2013 iMac 21.5, and it hangs every time after restart. The progress bar is fly gets going and then hangs forever. This is on a clean install of Catalina from a USB flash drive just done, no user files or setup really. So hard reboot and will be avoiding this update. Hi n general this machine is incredibly slow (Core i3, 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM). Would love to upgrade to SSD but access inside is very complex. Theoretically this iMac is compatible but it’s far slower than my 09 iMac running High Sierra. I may have to revert to Mojave or High Sierra for a usable machine.
