I hope I am in the right place...
I am currently running OSX Mojave on my rather old Mac desktop. If I upgrade to Catalina, many of my apps (all MS products, etc.) quit working. However, the new Turbotax requires at least OSX Catalina. So, my plan:
- Create a new volume on the current hard drive which is only 1/4 full.
- Clone current Mojave to new volume using TimeMachine called Catalina (very slow!!)
- Reboot on Catalina
- Upgrade Mojave on new volume to Catalina (I am not sure this old Mac will go any further)
- Now use TurboTax!
First of all, will this actually work? The "TimeMachine" part seems sketchy.
Second, is there a faster way to do the clone?
Third, have I completely lost my mind?
