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.
The Upgrade will require as per above but suggest a minimum of 50 GB of Empty Space or More for a successful installation of Monterey
