[QUOTE="Petesmac, post: 1862364, member: 405681"] It sounds like my 27" iMac is very similar if not the same. I bought mine new in 2016 but its build date is late 2015. Mine is a fusion drive also, with similar specs as above, except that the hard drive is 1TB. Upon booting up for the first time, the system automatically upgraded to High Sierra. After about a year or so, I decided to install Parallels to run Windows 10. With this in mind, I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 24 GB. The system literally flew along quite happily. After another year or so, I decided to get rid of Parallels (I found it more trouble than it is worth) and buy a cheap pc laptop. Mojave came along and after a few months went by, I upgraded to it. Then along came Catalina, with all the warnings about not being able to use 32 bit whatever. After a few months went by, I decided that I could live without the 32 bit thing so upgraded to Catalina, which is where we are at now. Mine is currently version 10.15.6 I don't really understand why you folks say some people may have difficulty by upgrading to Mojave or Catalina. My iMac is still sailing along smoothly and more than quick enough. Maybe it's because I upgraded the RAM to 24GB. ?? [/QUOTE]
