[QUOTE="neilwillz, post: 1903407, member: 410804"] Evening - Looking for some guidance... I need to update the OS on my iMac, in order for me to use the latest Adobe Lightroom and other programs etc. I have download the new OS (Mac OS Monterey), and when I tried to Install it I was shown greeted with a message stating 'This Volume is Not Formatted as APFS'. I work from an external 1TB SSD, and the iMac boots from that drive so I need to make sure the downloaded OS can be put on to that SSD. Am I going to have to format (and delete) everything on the current SSD to reformat to APFS? If so would I have to back up the whole of the drive including folders such as Applications, Library, System, User Info, and Users? Bit of a novice when it comes to all this so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance Neil [/QUOTE]
