    Trying to update to Mojave

    I got a 2017 Air the other day. Its my first mac ever so its all a little foreign to me. I downloaded Mojave and tried to update it from High Sierra. When ever I go to update it says that the drive is being encrypted. Is this normal and just takes a few days to complete after getting a new Mac?
