My employer told us we must upgrade to Big Sur by late March.

Mojave runs great on my 2014 Macbook with underpowered 750M GPU. (Aperture will require the use of Retroactive, if it is still available.) Big Sur, however, has not exactly received the “love” one would hope the latest and greatest macOS should have.Īt this time (mid March 2021), would you go with a Mojave interim update, or take the plunge to Big Sur and be done with it? (If doing the latter option, I could also use my copy of CCC to make a bootable clone of the High Sierra boot drive on an external SSD, and boot to that as needed.) Have the kinks in Big Sur been worked out to your satisfaction that you would unreservedly recommend it over previous macOS versions? But I am also thinking that I should just take the plunge and upgrade straight to Big Sur, which will get updates far longer than Mojave will, and then upgrade legacy apps as much as I can. I was thinking of updating to Mojave as an interim measure, to allow continued use of legacy apps. (Lightroom Classic, Photoshop, DxO Photo Lab 4, FCPX) All of these apps, except FCPX (10.5), can run in Mojave, which will also allow me to run some legacy apps that I still occasionally use. Also, I have apps that I routinely use that cannot be updated to their latest versions and run in High Sierra.

Security updates for High Sierra ended in October. My home computer is a mid-2014 15-inch MBP running High Sierra.
