[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1833100, member: 396914"] 1. Mojave took longer to install because in the process it completely changes the format of the boot drive from HFS+ to APFS. That change takes quite a while to accomplish. And it's mandatory in Mojave, so no avoiding the process. 2. In DU of Mojave, did you have "Show only Volumes" selected in the View options? If so, change that to Show All Devices. Be prepared for a bit of a shock, as the APFS system no longer refers to partitions, but to Containers and Volumes. The Volumes within a container are dynamically sized as the space is needed, up to the size of the Container. And you can add/delete a Volume on the fly, so to speak, without the gyrations of creating or deleting a partition in HFS+. You can, if you want, still use a partitioning scheme, but Mojave will reformat the boot partition to APFS. APFS is more efficient for SSDs, which is why the change. Other than that, it's hard to say what kind of change will create a headache for you. If I hadn't seen your thread, it would never occur to me to tell you about "Save As...," for example. [/QUOTE]
