Hi,

You should move the existing root volume to an aggregate on 2TB disks:

From your myautosupport you can get a detailed procedure by selecting "upgrade advisor" where you specify current and new release you will upgrade to.

There are install and upgrade PDF in the ontap docs. For a new install you don't have to worry about ndu but can still do it. I would setup the box on the default ontap. Then run the "software update xxxx" command to upgrade.
