Mrs Allen has a MacBook Pro 15 inch late 2008, 2.4Ghz Intel Core 2 duo, Memory 6Gb, updated with a 1tb SATA drive.
Which she loves.
Doesn't use it for much apart from social chatting, Googling, photo storage, etc.
Can't update any further past El Capitan, due to its age. Not usually a problem, but some recent revises to Safari appear to be absent from her Safari 11, which made getting into her bank account a bit difficult recently (although if she went in through Firefox or Chrome she had no problems).
She doesn't like having money spent on her, and I can't think of a very good reason for updating, other than it's 12 years old and counting.
Would you leave things as they are, or anticipate more deterioration in the future, i.e. with programs no longer being viable?
I'd value your opinions.
