Hi all,
After a lengthy wait my new Crucial X8 2TB SSD arrived today to take the place of the spinner. I've just read on here that my mid 2019 macbook air with 4GB of ram and a 1TB internal SSD would be able to handle Big Sur. So first of all, is that OK?
Second, if I do this, should I copy the Catalina clone to the new drive first, via CCC then upgrade to Big Sur and what's the best way to format the new drive. Is it APFS?
I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me what to do/not to do and in what order.
