[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1867936, member: 234411"] Last year, I did 3 Catalina 'upgrade installs' on a new iMac and my two laptops without a problem and have been doing the same since 2013 - never had an issue, BUT like backup drives, they will eventually die and an macOS install will eventually go wrong, regardless of the method used. Just finished the 'Big Sur Install' chapter in Joe Kissell's book shown in my previous post; he spent twice as many pages on the 'clean install' discussion - hmmm - but, I'm waiting for Apple to release 11.0.2 (they are already on 11.0.1 looking at the upgrade notifications in 'System Preferences' on two of my 'compatible' computers) and assessing the experiences of others making the 'early leaps of faith' - :) Dave [/QUOTE]
