[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1904871, member: 110816"] Apple will NEVER force you to upgrade, but the apps you want to continue to use and upgrade will force your hand. You want to avoid that, then create a bubble around the Mac such that nothing ever updates on it and it will work as well as it is right now for the rest of its life. As far as security goes, if you don't trust cloud security and are short on local storage, then invest in external drives or NAS' to keep your data close to you and under your control. Ensure that you employ a multiple-backup strategy (i.e., don't just back important data onto a single other device, use at least 2) Security is the thing that no-one cares about until things go sideways, then you're up in arms about how others couldn't/didn't protect you, so take it seriously and be vigilant.
