First time Mac User in great despair. Stuck in Factory reset

[Sinsanatic]

Hi all.
If you guys can't help I guess no one can.

I have just bought a used Macbook Pro Early 2011 13".

No accounts on it so trying to Wipe to factory using the CMD + R method. Pressing delete on the HDD where Os shall be installed.
Pressing next and logging on Wifi for download of Sierra I guess.

It has been stuck in more than 3 hours now on 6 minutes left and no black in the progressbar is showing. Its just standning there.

in the Installation log nothing seems to happen anymore other that Display turned on when I load the Install Log.
How can I see if its still Downloading the OS ?
Can someone please help me ?

I attached a picture of the screen for you with install log Status And Errors

3 hours is a long time. What's your network speed like?

I would probably recommend starting over, using Cmd+alt+R on boot instead of just cmd+R, to use network recovery rather than the recovery partition.
If it exhibits the same long-lasting-nothingness-behaviour and you have access to another Mac, you could burn a complete install media, or install to an external drive, boot from it to check booting works, and flash that to the internal drive.

Don't use "command-R" (recovery partition)

DO use "command-OPTION-R (INTERNET recovery).
You'll also need to enter your wifi password.

It will take a little while to "load everything" over the wifi connection.
(If you can plug in the MBP using ethernet, that may speed things up a little.)

When you get to the utilities menu, open disk utility.
Check to see if there is a "view" menu.
If there is, go to it and choose "show all devices".

Now, look at the TOP item in the list on the left.
That's the PHYSICAL DRIVE inside.
You want to ERASE it, so click the erase button.

If you're installing Mojave, choose:
APFS with GUID partition format

If your installing High Sierra or earlier, choose:
Mac OS extended with journaling enabled, GUID partition format.

Does the erase "go through"?

If it does, close disk utility and try the OS installer again.
It may reboot one or more times, and will take some time to install.

When done, you should see the setup screen.
