[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1842244, member: 204485"] If you are planning on or intending to upgrade to Catalina and you have done your best to remove any 32bit apps I would just go ahead and do so. System files that are 32bit will be overwritten with their 64bit equivalents and a list will be displayed of any remaining 32bit apps when you first start up Catalina. It gives you the choice to remove them immediately but do take a note of them because I don't think the list will appear again. You might want to consider creating a bootable flash drive installer for Mojave. I'm suggesting it to everybody who intends to upgrade to Catalina together with a full system backup [B]which you definitely should have before upgrading to Mojave[/B] it will give you the easiest way to revert to Mojave should you need to and a very handy repair and recovery tool into the future. This article explains the procedure but I prefer to use Install Disk Creator [url=https://www.lifehacker.com.au/2016/09/how-to-make-a-bootable-macos-sierra-usb-flash-drive/]How To Make A Bootable MacOS Sierra USB Flash Drive | Lifehacker Australia[/url] [/QUOTE]
