[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 1939400, member: 56231"] Thank you for your input. They are explained preceding each abbreviation, eg. M18 is Mini 2018, M10 is the Mini 2010, etc. I tend to abbreviate to reduce text content. See Paras 2 & 3. I'm sorry, I should have added 'I'd like' a second partition on the M18 on which I can install Sonoma, [U]whilst retaining what is already on the M18[/U] (32-bit). Specs are those listed under my chosen ID image. The M18, Model 8.1 is the machine under discussion. It currently has OS Mojave. Got it, and this [I]may[/I] dissuade me. It is also where memory is failing me. *[U]As I recall[/U]*, and not to be taken as fact, when I partitioned the M10 back in ~2015 when HFS was the Apple standard, the partition with the original OS Snow Leopard remained 'protected' (as it were). I was able to continue using its associated software. Then, as required, I could boot into a different partition to use more modern OS and associated software. Carbon Copy it? The whole of the M18 SSD is OS Mojave. As said, I have plenty of spare external storage. Container no, Volume yes. [/QUOTE]
