Hello.
I am wondering if there are any risks in upgrading to macOS Catalina from El Capitan?
A friend's MacBook is still running on El Capitan and they need an upgrade.
I have heard rumors that there could issues if someone upgrades macOS from El Capitan to Catalina, is that true?
A backup would be recommended I imagine.
Thanks
MacBook
See this tip from John Galt.
See this tip from John Galt.
Model is from 2015. Thank you, I will do a backup.
But I am still don't know if the upgrade will cause any problems? Like for example, boot problems or something. I really don't know... Someone told me there could be issues, I'm scared it will harm my friend's computer. Thank you
First, it would have to be from 2012 or newer.
See this for the requirements.
A backup is always required when doing a major upgrade.
32 bit apps will not run in Catalina.
https://www.stclairsoft.com/Go64/index.html will tell you what you have that is 32 bit that needs updating to work with Catalina.
Are there any risks in upgrading to Catalina?
