[QUOTE="unblocktheplanet, post: 1910763, member: 410160"] Thanks, guys. Current plan is to buy a 2 TB SSD & ‘upgrade’ to Monterey (though it’s giving me palpitations, unknown territory & irrevocable decision). I’ll put the nearly-dead 1 TB SSD into an external box so I can drag across my files. Yes, bootable clone is a good idea, thanks. Here’s my biggest worry. I realise I’ll lose some of my well-loved 32-bits like birthdayBook & Meridian. (Users who are not dinosaurs use more modern stuff for these purposes.) I’ve saved installers for all my applications along with serial numbers & so on. I have purchased much of the shareware but the apps from the big boys came from ‘alternate sources’. Never adopted the subscription model. Will they still work? Or will I now be locked into the AppStore & have to repurchase everything? This is more than I’m willing to undertake… [/QUOTE]
