[QUOTE="markrow, post: 1814578, member: 401843"] Hi, I'm new to the forum and was hoping to get some advice. I have an iMac 12,1 that does not support Mojave, I recently bought a MBP as well which obviously does. I want to use the iMac for all my photos and iTunes media as they don't fit on the MBP, photos are shared through iCloud if I need them on my MBP when I'm out and about. The iMac runs like a dog, I have a reasonable quote to install a 250GB SSD and 4TB Hard drive setup as a Fusion drive, this will more than cover my media needs and backup of all documents via iCloud, Time Machine and backblaze. My concern is the impact of using old apps in High Sierra as my MBP is upgraded to new versions of the OS. For example, Will I have problems managing photos in the older photos app vs the new ones that are bound to arrive. How long will it be before other apps stop supporting High Sierra etc. Basically, trying to weigh up the pros and cons of getting another couple of years out of the iMac or put the money towards a Mac Mini. Thanks, Mark. [/QUOTE]
