First, if you are on 10.10, what model/year is your device - just want to make sure it is compatible with Big Sur.


Second, if you are on 10.10, you will need 45 GB of available space on your hard drive. (Having 10.12 Sierra installed, reduces it to 35.5 GB).

So, get an external hard drive and move all of your space hogging files (movies, videos, photos,etc) to the external. After making sure they work, you can delete them on your internal.
