Should i upgrade to high sierra for 2010 mac pro

To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question. Hello All, Would like to hear from those of you running this vintage or close to it iMac and High Sierra. I haven't installed High Sierra yet and am wondering how it will run on this iMac. I am currently running High Sierra doesn't seem to be getting the normal "push" to this Mac from Apple as other recent OS upgrades have and I'm wondering if that because of the age of my iMac or if it's due to something else.

Same here re the GPU. I'm figuring this may be the last or one of the last new OS versions for it. As I said, Up grades aren't listed in Up dates.

I have the same concern and questions too. I wonder how to handle the new file system. Then I have several external hard drive. According to Apple, the internal drive will be converted to the new file system. The external drive won't and will need to do it manually.

I am fine with it. It seems most agree not to convert them. Is that the case? Jan 6, PM. I went ahead and converted to High Sierra the 1st week in November and have noticed no difference in performance or file structure, or anything, for that matter. However, I do not have an SSD, internal or external but understand that they were what the new file system is intended for. My external spinner, a 4 TB Time Machine drive, continues to operate fine.

I'd be inclined not to convert external SSDs for the time being. Jan 7, PM. Communities Contact Support.
