This morning my wife was prompted to upgrade her MBP to #MacOS 27. She approved as usual & when her internal drive's remaining 100GB of free space was deemed insufficient, I was forced to assist when the only resolution was to then re-install the old OS, and restore her computer from Time Machine backup.
Why it would need to get to the point of having to blow away everything and reinstall it without checking for enough drive space first is utterly beyond me. Absolutely horrible.
