Disable this, carry out the upgrade, and then switch to FileVault 2. Same goes for Snow Leopard users with FileVault enabled. If you're using any third-party disk encryption software, you'd be wise to disable this before the upgrade, because if things go wrong, you're going to be in a world of pain (and more than likely reaching for that backup you just made).

If you're not that familiar with the OS X file system then there are apps that can help you do this, such as DaisyDisk or Clean My Mac.

Upgrades to El Capitan are possible from OS X versions going back to Snow Leopard (10.6). The simple rule of thumb is that if you're running OS X 10.9 Mavericks or OS X 10.10 Yosemite then you're good to go, although not all features will be available to those running older hardware.
