The reason I want to use a usb to download the new update is because I don’t have enough storage. So when I downloaded the update it’s taking up 12 GB. After coping it to the usb can I delete the download on my computer hard drive?? And by doing the update this way will it delete anything on my computer main volume?

Hey I have a 2012 Mac mini and 2011 MacBook Pro and I want to put Big Sur on them both so I can make music with my Akai Touch and Logic Pro X 10.6...i see Big Sur in the App Store but it won’t let me download it from the App Store, what should I do? I need help!!!
This was the first video I found that ACTUALLY gave sufficient instruction for me to create the bootable USB drive. Thank you so much!😁
One of my Macs ( mini running Bigsur) died on me the other day with it not being able to boot. It's a 2012 unit so I was quickly able to identify it was a hard disc issue. I looked at other videos on KZread but they were all vague about some points. Following your video I've been able to install a new installation of Bigsur running on a new partition and recovered all my data using time machine. Excellent video and I've now subscribed 👍
I already knew the method, I needed to refresh my memory, what I liked a lot and did not know is that if I drag an element to the Terminal it will put the full path of that element, excellent!
Excellent tutorial. Your shortcuts for Terminal were mind-blowing, didn't know you could drag and drop scripts, it saved my life because I was struggling with the "Terminal command not found" message and couldn't find a way around it.

Yes I had the exact same problem, lifesaver!!
Best video I have seen! Shortcuts to the terminal were amazing! everything worked as described. Please keep up the great detail in your videos. Thank you!
man! I have been trying to find a clear explanation of how to install Big Sur in an old machine to no avail even with apple support. your video is clear and to the point.great! thank you.
best version of this process I've seen. so much better than downloading software to do the same thing you showed in simple drag and drop. awesome!
thank you thank you thank you for this, as I only like to use terminal to create a bootable macOS drive. I've been using your terminal method now for a few previous macOS installations in the past.
Very well explained. I couldn't wrap my head around having too boot up from the Thumb Drive, until I watched your video. Thanks
Spent 2 hours trying to do this last night, today I managed to do it with 5mins of your video tyvm
Thank you so much!!! You were the only one who made me understand how it was done. You were very detailed and clear in explaining. I subscribed to the channel and activated all notifications.
This was extremely helpful and sincerely appreciated. Thank you so much for this gem!
FAB-ulous video! Very detailed and very helpful. Thank you for making this task so simple and straight-forward.
One of the clearest macOS installers ever. Thanks

My Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (RHEMA ORPHANAGE HOME) in Nigeria, Port Harcourt, before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call or contact the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp ) +2348101990511) tell him I sent you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you....
Thank you for a simple drag and drop method for dropping in file paths into terminal, worked like a charm compared to other methods
"Press space on the space bar to create a space." I was stuck on this part for so long. Thank you for the tip!
Best One Ive seen. Been trying to get this to work for a couple of days and kept running into problems! Very easy to do! Great Vid.
EXCELLENT video.....steps were clear and easy to follow....I had to redo the terminal commands and download the App Store version but even with that was a quick install.....thanks!
Many thanks Jeff, I looked at a number of these videos but yours was the best and so easy to follow...😊
Such an amazing and helpful video! In case anyone's curious, I did this for a late 2014 Mac Mini, and the copy time was nearly an hour. The manual part of the process was super quick, though

11-12-20 Thank you Jeff, I am following your video and installing macOS Big Sur on my 2019 4K iMac. I am very excited and grateful for your easy to follow video. I did not need to enable security as my 2019 iMac does not have a T2 chip. I was able to simply hit option key to boot from the external USB installer and I did not have to hold command r to get into recovery mode to allow external booting. I choose to do a clean install and erase my internal Macintosh SSD blank. As I prefer a fresh install on all my Macs when a new macOS releases.
Thank you so much for this! My IMAC will have new life because of you.
Thank you for showing this updated and step by step instructions
finally I got it, and this is the first bootable disk I create for my Mac and hopefully the installation is easy like your tutorial, Thank U Jeff
Thank you Jeff!! You are a great teacher! Easy to follow instructions.
You are the only one in video content who helped me to fix my laptop. BIG THANKS 🎉
Thank you this helped me a lot in reinstalling the OS on an older iMac
I was literally thinking about install big sur like an hour ago, and you uploaded it...thanks

Hi all I get stuck at the copying to disk stage of making the flashdrive bootable. It erases the drive and then doesn't progress further than 0% for the copying to disk portion. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
