[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1919527, member: 56379"] * You will need a display for a new Mac-Mini (can't use iMac 27" display with Mac-Mini). * Your current keyboard & mouse (wired or wireless)...should work. Depends on how much storage space you need. New Mac-Mini's come with 256GB of SSD storage in them (smaller than the 1TB SSD you installed in your iMac). Internal storage in the new Mac-Mini can ONLY be upgraded at time of purchase. I would probably *None of the user installed software on your 2010 iMac will run on a new Mac-Mini. * If you have any peripherals (such as a printer)...it may or may not work with a new Mac-Mini (depends on its age). HTH, Nick p.s. Whatever the issues are with a new Mac-Mini...after 12 years with your 2010 iMac...it's time for an upgrade!:) [/QUOTE]
