Hi MargoSan,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


It sounds like you are looking to use your iCloud storage to upgrade your operating system. To upgrade you actually need the storage on your iPhone to have that free space. You can check available space on your iPhone under Settings > General > About, then you will see the available space next to Available. The following article explains what iCloud storage space is used for.

Have a great day,

Joe
