[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1638037, member: 42497"] Who knows as you have not supplied'puter details. You can no longer get Mavericks so it would have to be Yosemite. Have used Yosemite for over six months including all the Beta releases and had no problems at all. And most complaints come about because folk do not do a clean install when jumping so many operating systems. Back up to an external drive, erase and format, download Yosemite, clean install and with external connected use Migration Assistant to transfer things over. Be aware older PowerPC apps like Office 2004 and some Adobe suites will not run on anything later than Snow Leopard. And if possible have at least 8GB of memory installed in your iMac whatever model it is. [/QUOTE]
