Tips Monterey Upgrade
October 29, 2021 Version # 1
The below points should be consider before attempting the upgrade.
Point # 1 - Does the >> Computer Qualify for the Monterey upgrade
Point # 2- >> How to upgrade to macOS Monterey
Point # 3 - Empty Space Requirements >> If upgrading from macOS Sierra or later, your Mac needs 26GB of available storage to upgrade. If upgrading from an earlier release, your Mac needs up to 44GB of available storage.
Point # 4 - Empty Space afterwards - it is suggested to keep at least 15% of the Drive Total Capacity as Empty Space for good operations of the computer and for additional updates to Monterey to download, expand and install.
Point # 5 - The upgrade will require a quick, stable and reliable Internet Connection - preferred method is via Ethernet Connection.
Point # 6 - If using Wifi - move computer as close to the Access Point / Router and disconnect all other devices connected to Wifi. Want the maximum bandwidth for the computer being upgraded to Monterey
Point # 7 - Commercial VPNs should only be used if Mandated by Corporate Head Office for working remotely. Otherwise - ones Privacy and Security touted by the VPN is suspect.
Point # 8 - If downloading Monterey from behind a VPN it may increase Packet Looses and an incomplete or corrupted Installer.
Point # 9 - AntiVirus Software should be removed as per Developers Instructions. They are unneeded, cause havoc and interfere with the normal operation of the OS including the download and installation of Monterey. The The Built in Security is all that is required. There are no known Windows-like Viruses in the wild that self replicate and affect macOS because of the underling UNIX Foundation and Permission Limitation.
Point # 10 - Disk Cleaners, Optimizers and UnInstaller are not needed. They will often times attempt to Modify, Alter, Remove or Delete elements of the Operating System requiring a Re-Installation.
Point # 11 - Do you have a Rescue Plan In-Place. This comprises having 3 Backups using 2 methods and 1 Off Site incase of Theft, Loss or Natural Disasters. A Time Machine Backup is very useful and can be used to Revert to Previous Working macOS.
Point # 12 - For addition purposes - two Tested Bootable Clones each to separate external drives. This is insurance incase the upgrades goes sideways. At least one Tested Clone and / or Time Machine Backup should be Off - Site
Point # 13 - Are the installed Applications / Extensions compatible with Monterey. Check with the Developer for compatible Apps / extensions. Do they offer updates or upgrades. Same goes for Third Party Drivers for Printer, Scanners etc.
Point # 14 - If upgrading from Mojave and earlier versions of macOS - Remember that Monterey does not support anything 32 bit. These include Applications, Extensions and Drivers for any devices. There is no workaround.
Point # 15 - To check for 32 bit Applications - a good application to use is Go64 - safe to use.
On two of the banking sites I log onto I now have problems if I use Safari, and so I have to use a different browser now (Firefox). I thought that this might be solved if I update my MacBook Air operating system to Monterey, but it demands 16gig disk space and I have only 9 available. How do I get round this?

how are you trying to apply the upgrade?
are you getting any error messages?

I am unable to install Mac Monterey. Unable to agree to license terms
Please start your own topic. In your question state the year and model of your Mac and exactly what happens when you click on agree to terms. Attaching a screen shot might help.
My MacBook is a 2020 model. I read the terms and conditions but there’s no place that says “I agree” for me to click on
Can you provide a screenshot?
You need to click twice to agree. The first agree box ix near the bottom of the install. Once you click on that a little popup appears asking again to agree.
There is nowhere to click I agree!
Please provide screenshot
