Unable To Download Catalina From App Store

Like any new version of macOS there are going to be a bunch of bugs initially so if you plan to install Catalina instead of waiting make sure you make a backup of your drive just in case your need to roll back to Mojave. I also recommend creating a Catalina USB installer to see if you can even boot Catelina without making changes to your EFI as some motherboards will have issues with EC and can cause hanging when trying to boot the installer.
