Mine's "failed" about 4 times so far; it checks for updates again, presents the update, and then proceeds from where it left off
I restored my MacBook a few weeks back in prep for Big Sur, as the weeks have gone by and seeing issue after issue, and then a rumour on a new MacBook Pro later in the year... I’m gutted to say I’m gonna skip the public beta and wait.
Hopefully everyone enjoys it, and has zero issues.

Hey all, has anyone else experienced the weather widget in the big Sur beta not getting the current location automatically? I noticed it first thing, and was trying to figure out if it's a bug, or redesigned behavior. Under location services in security weather is still checked, but I had to add my location manually to get it to show something other than Cupertino. I tried removing the widget, turning off weather in location services, putting the widget back re enabling weather in location services, and it didn't change until I manually changed it. So was curious if that's a bug, or new behavior. I noticed some other known bugs, but beyond that, it wasn't too bad. Just haven't seen the weather problem I experienced mentioned.
I installed it on an external SSD drive for my Mac mini (2018) and everything is going smoothly so far. I don't mount my internal SSD to keep my primary drive uncorrupted. I had previously gone into the boot setting to allow booting from an external drive and had the latest Catalina version running on it before the public beta dropped.
Looking at the Big Sur developer beta release notes, the weather widget not getting the current location might be a known bug.
Thanks, figured it was, didn't make much sense to change that to manual only. Anyway, not a huge deal was just curious. What I can't figure out is, where is the notification center ? the lines i'm used to are gone, and clicking on the time/date brings up the widgets, do notifications still go to the same area? I've pretty much figured out the new menu layout other than that little detail though, so my adjustments here have been minor.
On Big Sur now and loving it so far. Any idea as to what this "Relocated Items" folder is on the desktop? Is it something that you can get rid of or should get rid of?
Is anybody else experiencing this:
