Going for upgrade, at last? - 02/06/18 06:51 PM
Hi again,
I'm retired now (hooray) and have plenty of disposable income at the moment (hooray). I'm thinking of finally upgrading the hardware around here. We both have iMacs stuck on Snow Leopard which, as time goes by, gets more and more "pesky".
Therefore I'm thinking of getting two new Macs (one each). That's the way we've always worked and there's no financial reason not to (get two).
Questions: desktops or laptops?
How easy will it be to transfer bookmarks and saved files from the current 10.6.8 to whatever the new Macs come with? How easy/hard will it be to adjust to new OS?
We won't need the new Macs for work any more (HOORAY), will only use them for internet browsing, emails, Skype - which doesn't work any more on 10.6.8 - and other light-weight functions. Portability isn't an issue: due to my husband's ill health our travelling days are severely curtailed ftm.
Any helpful replies to this absurd (?) series of questions will be most gratefully received. Thanks in advance!
