I'm wondering about whether installing macOS Sierra, when it's available, will hobble my MBP 17" (Mid 2010) with 2.66 GHz Dual Core i7 with 8 GB RAM. [I've got more than half of the HD available for install; so, no issues there.]
My hardware is smoothly running 10.11.6; but, this MBP hardware is getting long in the tooth. And, the specs are now close to the minimal line for 10.12.
I know I'll be able to install Sierra; but, will my MBP find Sierra a bit too much, resulting in key features not running in addition to seeing spinning pizzas too often?
My prior experience has been that 7 year old hardware might be underpowered for installing the newest OS. Waiting until the hardware is replaced, to enjoy the newest OS, might be wisest (least frustrating) option.
Thoughts? ...Anyone running the Sierra Beta on an older machine?
