[QUOTE="hoody, post: 1862945, member: 290804"] Thanks Jake, krs, Ian and chscag. Between me and the man at apple, over the course of about four and a half hours in total we couldn't get High Sierra or Mojave. I would click on a download link for either one of those and it would say 'not available in Australia' and it would provide a link to the US store which gave the same message, but for the UK store. After going around in circles like this I decided to go for Catalina as it was the only one that showed up in the app store. I had to get rid of all photos to make room for any OS to go on the original internal SSD. I knew these were all on the external HDD because I booted up from it before doing anything. What I intended to do was back up this drive as it is now to the new external HDD, (when it gets here) install the new internal SSD and run the back up. [I]But [/I]the original back up on the old external HDD was backed up while I was on Sierra, so now I don't know if I can use this to put all that stuff on to the new internal HDD. Yes I do need to slow down a bit, but through my own fault I am where I am at the moment. And no, I didn't take it the wrong way. :-) In future I'll use separate drives for CCC and time machine.
