[QUOTE="Inuevo, post: 1823097, member: 235824"] Before upgrading from Lion 10.7.5 on my late 2011 17" MacBook Pro, I want to check which of my old apps will work with which newer OSs. From reading roaringapps.com (thanks to advice from a previous post) it seems that nothing between Yosemite and High Sierra suits all the apps I've got so I need to experiment to find the optimum version. If I install, say, El Capitan on an external drive and boot into that, can I try out my old apps that are only on my Mac internal drive, or do they have to be on the external drive too? Thanks.
