[QUOTE="vansmith, post: 1900777, member: 71075"] What I'm about to say is done so with the following preface: to each their own and you do what works for you. The issue with older software is less the risk of corruption or lost data but rather that older operating systems are no longer updated or patched against vulnerabilities. Everything pre-Catalina is no longer maintained by Apple and Catalina isn't far behind. You will also, increasingly, run into issues doing basic things. See [URL='https://www.mac-forums.com/threads/how-do-i-view-this-page.369367/page-2#post-1900538']this[/URL] recent thread for instance. While it may be some time before either of these become issues, they will become issues sooner for you than it will for most others. [/QUOTE]
