![]() Given that drives can be a terabyte in size, this doesn’t seem wildly inappropriate however, many organizations still buy devices with 256GB drives (thus going from an eighth in the 64GB drive era to a quarter of common drive space required to be free for certain upgrades on smaller drives today). Therefore, scoping policies to run an updater without causing undo issues to end users it’s entirely appropriate to make sure they have the amounts of free space indicated per version. The net result is that when doing the last few upgrades, they have required 12+GB for the installer itself (which can be run from a USB drive) and up to 44GB for the installer to do the work it needs to do, so a total of up to about 56GB. So the installers haven’t changed all that much. The High Sierra installer was 4.8GB ( ).The Sierra installer was a little less than 10GB of space when put on a thumb drive to be installed, or 5GB on the App Store.El Capitan was 6.2GB on the App Store.The installers themselves grew some as well in this time frame, although not as drastically: Monterey (macOS 12) required 26GB and up to 44GB of space.Big Sur (macOS 11) Sierra or later required 35.5GB or 44.5GB for El Capitan and earlier.Catalina (macOS 10.15) required 18.5 GB of free space to upgrade from previous versions of macOS.Mojave (macOS 10.14) required 12.5 (El Capitan or later) to 18.5 GB in free space for Yosemite or older. ![]()
