128 GB 2019 MBP Hi, i want to update my MBP OS to Big Sur, but i'm afraid that these updates will take a lot of my storage. Right now i have 67 GB free storage, if i update to Big Sur OS. How much the storage left after updating it? Hope some of you can help with the exact number. I know Apple did say that it takes 35.5 Gb to be able to update. Does it mean that i only have 31.5 GB free after the update? Thank you so much
