[QUOTE="nickyr, post: 1745096, member: 40791"] Well going back to Leopard would see you using a no longer supported OS - so no security updates which could leave you vulnerable. And your system would be woefully out of date now. I think the most up to date OS you can run on your Mac mini is El Capitan. This is only one generation old so you'd hope would remain supported by Apple for some time. How much RAM does your Mac mini have? Apple state that El Capitan will run with only 2GB of RAM but I'm not so sure it would perform at its best with less than 4GB installed. [/QUOTE]
