[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 1842064, member: 56379"] This is the way the computer industry works (macOS or Windows)...and has worked since the early 1980's when personal computers started to be affordable. If computer & software companies didn't have some sort of "product cycle" (launch new products periodically)...then all of us Apple enthusiasts would still be running an all-in-one Mac from 1984 running the very first Mac OS (System 1) aka "Macintosh System Software 1". Even if you got a brand new Apple computer today (of course with the latest macOS version)...in a couple years you will still be faced with new macOS versions (usually once/year)...and apps that eventually may or may not be compatible with the latest OS version. My suggestion is...if you would like to be able to run the latest macOS version...and...be able to run an older rmacOS version for compatability with older hardware or software...first determine what older version of the macOS you want/need to run. The find the newest model Apple notebook that can run that older macOS version & also run the latest macOS. Hopefully that older macOS version is not too old...otherwise this compromise won't be possible. HTH, - Nick [/QUOTE]
