[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1873901, member: 83420"] When you move from macOS High Sierra or earlier up to macOS 11 Big Sur (BS), the filing system automatically changes from HFS+ (aka Mac OS X Extended (Journaled)) - to Apple File System, APFS. In addition the Mac's Hard Drive is "divided" into two parts: One is for system and is called Macintosh HD. This is locked & encrypted so no one can meddle with it. The other is for all your data of any kind and is appropriately called Macintosh HD - Data, which you obviously can control yourself. These two "parts" (actually called Volumes) are contained within the Apple Container and work as one. So nothing to worry about. Keep enjoying the Mac. Ian [/QUOTE]
