Hi m8s,
I found an old iMac (21.5", mid 2010, i3 3.06 GHz, Mavericks OS X 10.9) perfectly working and almost unused.
I intend to upgrade the memory from 4GB to 16 GB and to replace the old 5400 rpm HDD with a SSD (I know, transfers speed will be limited by SATA 1 interface).
What are my concerns? According to Apple, this iMac could be upgraded up to High Sierra (10.13) but I would like to force it to install Catalina (10.15).
What do you think, will be possible?
