Message not enough memory to install OS Ventura 13.1 on my MAC 2021 Trying to install OS Ventura 13.1 2021 model MAC. Installation box on screen tells me I need 12.69 GB memory. My computer has 200 GB memory. I am only using 25GB. So why the message? What to do?

Not enough memory when trying to upgrade a MacBook Air I want to upgrade my OS from Catalina to any of the other operating systems available. But Big Sur and Monterey give me an error that I do not have enough memory on my current laptop. My MacBook Air doesn't have the ability to add memory. The question is: Are there any of the newer OS which require less memory than Big Sur does that would enable me to upgrade? I really only wanted to go with Big Sur because some apps are now saying "only available with iOS 11.xx or above" Finder shows I have 26G available. Big Sur says it is only 15G so I don't know why it won't upgrade. Sorry, completely uneducated on all of this, so I guess it has to do with keeping the old one on board while the new one is getting set up or something.. Thank You. (PS I do have Entrecheck Pro and can run it and post it if anyone wants) [Edited by Moderator]

You need at least 4GB of memory and 12.5 GB of available storage. If your upgrading from OS C Yosemite or earlier you will need 18.5 GB of storage.

Good Luck!
