How much time it takes for installing Windows 11?

I have been wait one hour and the install wizard is still stuck on the downloading update. How much time it takes for real?

    Waiting an hour and still stuck on "downloading update" isn't unusual, but it's on the longer side. Sometimes, the update download can hang due to network issues, server delays, or system hiccups.

    Regular upgrades take 20-40 minutes on SSDs and 1-2 hours on HDDs.
