While Adobe does have products for Monterey, they will require you to sign up for a subscription to them. Adobe is notorious for NOT being user friendly (they actually border on user-hostile).
GO64 MAC PDF
You don't need Adobe Reader as Preview can open pdf files for you and comes from Apple. Adobe is a problem if you are talking about Adobe Photoshop, etc.
GO64 MAC DRIVERS
Epson printer drivers should be available, depending on the age of the printer (you can check at Epson to see if they have updated drivers). The Apple products will be updated, assuming they are still supported. Apple tried to make it look and feel just the same for the average user.Ĭlick to expand.Not a good assumption. If you want the lowdown on what APFS looks like, let us know and we can show where you can read the details on it. When you get done, the file structure will be completely different from what you have now. Just read the screens before clicking "next" or "agree" or whatever is the highlighted choice. You may or may not want to share diagnostics with Apple, etc. You probably don't need or want that, unless you are a super-secret spy or an accountant for the Mafia. Apple defaults to turning File Vault ON, for example. As you go through the setup, be careful to read what is on the various setup screens.
Everything should be there except what it knows won't run (32 bit software). When done, you will be able to boot into the system and log into the account it created with the same login and password as you have now. Say yes to that and point to the TM backup and let it run. At some point it will ask if you want to Migrate your data.
GO64 MAC INSTALL
If you decide to go ahead and install Monterey, you can do the clean installation and at boot it will act as if it were new, taking you through the "Welcome" routine. In fact, it manages memory better than Sierra, so you may find memory no longer gets challenged as much. With your use case, Monterey should run well. TM will probably be enough, but it's always to have another backup, just in case.ģ. Both Carbon Copy Cloner and SuperDuper! have downloads that work for a while that are free for you to use for 30 day, I think.
GO64 MAC MAC OS
Change it from exfat to Mac OS Journaled and use a cloner to create the clone. You say you have TM, you might consider making a clone backup into that partition you aren't using. So a good, tested, backup of your data is critical. The format will change from Mac OS Journaled to APFS. Your entire hard drive will be reformatted in the process. You just need to see what the issues might be to make an informed decision.Ģ.
GO64 MAC 64 BIT
Most popular software has moved on to 64 bit as well (Office, Adobe, etc.) Some boutique software has not been supported for a while, and is stuck at 32 bit. Go64 Generally, Apple will have 64 bit versions available (including GarageBand). I used a program called Go64 to identify 32 bit software for me.
You need to find what you have that is 32 bit and then decide if you need it, if there is a 64 bit version, and what your options may be. There are some pitfalls for you to be aware of:ġ. That said, your mini can run Monterey so if you are going to step all the way up from Sierra, might as well go all the way. Around here, you won't find many people supporting CMM and almost nobody supporting resident AV programs. CMM has been a bit over-aggressive in the past at deleting critical files it thinks are not needed, but which are. An occasional scan with DetectX Swift, and/or Intego VirusBarrier Scanner (both free, as I recall), will do. You don't really need any AV software to be resident and running. I have cleaned up everything except my 11k duplicate filesīut with 700 GB available I didn't feel the pressure to do these.Īny thoughts on upgrading strategy are appreciated.Ĭlick to expand.I would start by getting rid of both of those. I have some other apps that I use occasionally but I am not sure I do mostly Internet with Word Docs and Spreadsheets. I don't need the advanced features of Monterey. There is a lot of vague discussion about Monterey needing 16GB ram. I have the BigSur Install app and the Monterey is always showing up It is already slow so I am debating about a clean install vs an update. I also have an external 5 TB drive with 3 partitions.ġTB for time machine MOS Extended, 200GB availableĢTB for music MOS extended, 1.6 TB available andĢTB Exfat intended to link a pc backup/storage (Not used at the moment). 1tb ssd hd, with over 700 GB available and 8 GB ram.
