[QUOTE="Cowabunga, post: 7730331, member: 718"] I upgraded my ten year old [mid 2011] iMac a while ago by simply giving it 8GB extra RAM to make 12 in all. Massive improvement. A couple of weeks ago I decided to clear its hard drive, or at least the OSX side of the partition [it has Bootcamp Windows on the other], because all its files are duplicated on my 2020 iMac and backed up to an external drive and to the iCloud anyway. So I did the format, or tried to. Had to scratch my head a bit but decided to reset the VRAM and it went fine after that. No issues except that it tried reload files from iCloud, so had to go into System Preferences to stop that. Works like a dream. On the other new iMac I have an issue with an external SSD that holds my Photos album of some 700GB. Got a redundant 2TB drive that was previously used on the old Mac to download copies of my photographs, which took a while due to slow bank holiday 4G internet, but fine now. Nothing is easy and nothing ever was easy. The past was the worst. Different age, different problems. [/QUOTE]
