[QUOTE="poppi, post: 1750793, member: 214058"] Ian This is the link Apple sent me. Following it through it appears that the upgrade to El Capitan is free. They then recommend upgrading first to El Capitan and then to Sierra (don't know if that is also free). I need to determine what other upgrades I would need to make (Office and Elements) and the costs of those. Even then I am not optimistic that would solve my various problems.
