[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1921877, member: 204485"] Yep, that's it. So, no reason why your iMac cannot upgrade to Monterey but as said there have been a lot of changes so that might account for some of your reported issues, "wouldn’t allow me some of the desktop icons/folders I prefer, and things were all jumbled up." As for "sluggish" well the system would have been re indexing initially, downloading and syncing things from iCloud so... It [I]sounds[/I] like you did all the right things as far as cloning Mojave back to your HD, other that the incompatible apps notifications is the device operating as it used to? It is normal for Mojave to notify you about apps that are not "optimised" for the next macOS. These will be 32bit (not 64bit) apps but Mojave will run both with no problem, after Mojave only 64bit apps will run. To locate all of your 32bit apps is easy. [HEADING=1]Find 32-bit apps on your Mac through System Report[/HEADING] 1. In the Finder, click on the Apple menu and select About This Mac. [URL='https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2019/05/macos-mojave-about-this-mac-100795466-orig.jpg'][IMG alt="macos mojave about this mac"]https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2019/05/macos-mojave-about-this-mac-100795466-medium.jpg?auto=webp&quality=85,70[/IMG][/URL] 2. In the Overview section, click on the [I]System Report[/I] button. 3. In the left column of the System Report, scroll down to the Software section. Then select [I]Applications[/I]. 4. The section on the right may go blank for a moment. This is because your Mac is compiling a list of software on your Mac. When the window appears, it will have two sections. The top section is the list of software. The bottom section shows more details about an item if you click on it in the list. [URL='https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2019/05/high-sierra-system-report-apps-64-bit-100795464-orig.jpg'][IMG alt="high sierra system report apps 64 bit"]https://images.idgesg.net/images/article/2019/05/high-sierra-system-report-apps-64-bit-100795464-large.jpg?auto=webp&quality=85,70[/IMG][/URL] If you click and hold the dot in the divider between the two sections, you can resize the window so you can see more of the list or more of the details. 5. In the list, there is a column called “64-Bit (Intel)” that is located to the far right of the top row. If you don’t see it, try expanding the window by clicking and dragging the right edge, or you can scroll the window to the right. Once you see the 64-bit (Intel) column, you can click, hold, and drag it to the left to reposition it closer to the app names. 6. Now you can see if a particular app on your Mac is 64-bit or not. If it’s listed as Yes, it’s 64-bit. If it’s No, it’s a 32-bit app, and you need to upgrade it before using macOS 10.15. [/QUOTE]
