[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1921838, member: 204485"] Just going back a bit, you say that you had "a devil of a time" upgrading to Monterey and that it "ran like crap". Assuming you have a compatible device (you don't mention what that is in your profile) neither of those things should have happened. So what did happen? Back in Mojave we were warned that certain (32bit) apps were or would be incompatible with macOS and we should check for updates by the developer. This notice usually only appeared once for each app concerned. It was then a fairly simple process to identify these 32bit apps from the About This Mac item under the Apple Menu. It was Apple's intention that failing a 64bit upgrade we should delete these apps [B]prior[/B] to upgrading macOS to what would have been Catalina macOS 10.15. the last of the MacOS 10 series. If any were overlooked they appeared in the Applications menu after upgrade with an overlayed circle with a strikethrough. Although it was simple enough to delete the app itself (drag to the trash) it may not be so simple to delete the app's associated files especially if it came with it's own Uninstaller (also a 32bit app). A lot of changes occurred from Catalina to Big Sur to Monterey and todays Ventura. So when you cloned Mojave back to your device did you erase the target device (your HD) beforehand? That should be done at the "media" level (the actual SSD or HDD) then reformat and Map done using the external boot drive with Disk Utility. [/QUOTE]
