[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1896084, member: 46727"] Your iMac can install Catalina (10.15.7), however, that will disable all 32 bit apps and drivers. If you do decide to upgrade you will need a new driver for your Epson as I indicated above. As you may or may not be aware, Apple is not going to produce another Intel iMac. The newest iMac (24" model) is powered by an Apple developed CPU (M1). All new iMacs and Macs will likewise be powered by the newer type CPU. It means a completely new architecture which impacts software and even things like printers and scanners. So if you decide to keep your current iMac another year, the next one that you might be looking at to purchase could be one with the newer CPU. That could impact the software that you're using for artwork. I know you stated that you're not particularly tech savvy, however, stay tuned to our forums and we will try to keep you updated the best we can. [/QUOTE]
