[QUOTE="garmp, post: 1921856, member: 369140"] When tried to upgrade, got a notice in the system preferences, I would get a message saying I could not upgrade to Monterey from this version OS. After exhausting attempts to find a version I could upgrade to, to then upgrade to Monterey I gave up and contacted Apple tech support. After several techs I was finally told to restart holding down a series of keys (which I don’t remember now) to get a window that would allow me to wipe the HD and then install Monterey. Which I did. It just didn’t run right. Sluggish, wouldn’t allow me some of the desktop icons/folders I prefer, and things were all jumbled up. Just too confusing for the old mind to comprehend. At this point I decided to return to Mojave. Shouldn’t be that hard, I thought. Booted off my backup drive. Used disk utilities to erase the HD and partition. Then used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone back from my backup drive. After that the “Incompatible items” notice appears. I checked my apps & found nothing of the 64 bit nature. This has been going on for a while so my memory isn’t 100%. [/QUOTE]
