[QUOTE="MacInWin, post: 1803156, member: 396914"] Keith, the single best reason for upgrading to Mojave is to stay current with what Apple is planning. Eventually Apple abandons old versions of the operating system to concentrate support on the newer. It's ok to be one or two versions behind, but if you get much further behind you are in danger of being left without support (or updates) from Apple, and if you use third party software, they usually stop supporting old versions when Apple does. The software will still run, but you don't get bug fixes or security updates for abandoned software. But for now, Sierra should be supported. El Capitan is getting really long in the tooth and is near abandonment. Maybe at least move the El Cap machine to High Sierra, if it supports it and if you can find the installer for HS. All that said, my personal experience is that Mojave seems to be quicker than High Sierra was. I haven't had any problems with it and the installation went fairly smoothly. Your iMac should support it pretty well, if you do decide to go to it. If you wait, then when the replacement for Mojave comes along, I would be much more strong in the recommendation to make the move then. And definitely on the El Capitan machine. [/QUOTE]
