Hi, I have a 2013 iMac. It's running on Mojave currently, I want to upgrade it to the OLDEST supported OS, which I believe is Big Sur.

Hi everyone!
My cousin gifted me his old Macbook Pro 15" - 2,88 GHz processor, 4 GB RAM, 512 MB display, 500 GB HDD, battery with only 35 cycles.
I think it is a 2010 model. Not sure, as in "about this mac" it only shows "El Capitan" but no year at all.
I was thinking of replacing its El Capitan...

I am running the latest version of Catalina on a mid 2012 Macbook Pro 15. I installed Retroactive so I could install iTunes.
QUESTION:
I searched and couldn't find the answer to this, but should I delete Retroactive AFTER installing iTunes or should Retroactive always stay on my Mac?
Thank you.
