[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1922645, member: 56379"] Sometimes users have older software that they NEED to run (since the cost of upgrading the software is prohibitive). Thus when they upgrade to a newer computer...the idea is to make sure the newer computer can run a macOS version the older software is compatible with. In your case you have not mentioned any specific software applications that you NEED to be able to run (since you haven't mentioned needing certain older apps to run). Thus you should be free to do whatever you want. Because the computer may have some older apps installed on it currently...if you don't use them yourself (the previous owner/user did)...don't let this decide what newer iMac model you get. You should get what best works for you...and in many cases...the newer the better (able to run newer versions of the macOS, more recent security updates, etc.). Nick [/QUOTE]
