[QUOTE="ferrarr, post: 1728169, member: 376394"] If you only have a 120gb hard drive, your available space is fine. How much ram do you have installed? 4gb is the bare minimum for macOS 11 (El Capitan). Depending on the size of your hard drive, moving some things off may help, but you can't move Applications, only files like documents, music, and videos. I also agree with Harry about putting an SSD into that machine. When I did it in my 2011 MBP, it was incredible, I really never thought the speed increase would be noticeable, but it was. [/QUOTE]
