[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1900398, member: 396914"] That is correct. You cannot go back further than what came with the machine originally. But the point is that even if you get a used machine that runs Mojave, you will still have to rebuild your music and pictures on that machine. And at the end you would have an old machine that may well have other hardware issues soon. So why not do the work to rebuild the music and pictures on the new system and have a newer set of hardware? That's all we are saying. It's your call. The work is going to be the same. The end result will be different. And again, the only way to avoid the work is if you have a good backup of that old system. If you do, you could restore from that backup to an older used system, but you still have to add in all of the music and pictures that you have added since that backup was made.
