    This is my error:

    Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/release/wordpress-5.7.1-new-bundled.zip…

The authenticity of wordpress-5.7.1-new-bundled.zip could not be verified as no signature was found.

Unpacking the update…

The update cannot be installed because we will be unable to copy some files. This is usually due to inconsistent file permissions.: wp-admin/includes/update-core.php

Installation Failed

    I’ve tried googling this and got 100 answers that did not help me at all. Please help

    Try downloading WordPress again, access your server via SFTP or FTP, or a file manager in your hosting account’s control panel (consult your hosting provider’s documentation for specifics on these), and delete then replace your copies of everything on the server except the wp-config.php file and the /wp-content/ directory with fresh copies from the download. This will effectively replace all of your core files without damaging your content and settings.

    Some uploaders tend to be unreliable when overwriting files, so don’t forget to delete the original files before replacing them.
