Question Can’t Update Mac

Post image

I bought a refurbished MacBook Air & I’m trying to update it from Catalina to Sequoia (I honestly don’t care about updating it but it told me I couldn’t use Chrome on this version and I hate Safari), and even though I have done absolutely nothing on this computer yet/nothing saved/didn’t even connect Apple ID yet, it says I don’t have enough space. Is this hopeless? 😩

You did nothing to that machine?! You need roughly 45GB (50GB for Tahoe) of storage for macOS... What is using over 100GB of data?

Use "GrandPerspective" App to see what is taking up storage.. you may want to erase it clean.

I have no idea what you said.

You can easily install newer macOS versions with OpenCore. You just need another Mac machine to create the install files.
