Turning Off File Vault This is a question for Mac users who have been using Macs for a long time! I have a Mac Book Pro from around 2011. The OS is Sierra. I want to upgrade my OS, so I am trying to turn off File Vault. When I try to do this, I get a message saying "I need 9.5 GB to turn off File Vault." I have 241.81 GB out of 498.88GB on my hard drive. Can anyone offer advice? Thanks.

Hello,

You can either enable File Vault before or after the macOS 10.15 Catalina update.
