Try freeing up storage: Free up storage space on your Mac - Apple Support

If upgrading from macOS Sierra or later, your Mac

needs 35.5GB of available storage to upgrade. If upgrading from an

earlier release, your Mac needs up to 44.5GB of available storage. To

upgrade from OS X Mountain Lion, first upgrade to OS X El Capitan, then

upgrade to macOS Big Sur.
