Testing OS Upgrade
#1
I seem to have gotten to the point where I should update Safari, to which some websites are complaining ("You are using an out-of-date browser. . .") and others unexpectedly stalling or just crashing. So I either switch to a different browser (e.g. Firefox, which updates every other day), or I update my iMac's OS, now High Sierra (10.13.6). But I hesitate to do that, as it may well break old applications.

I'm thinking of downloading the next OS, Mojave (?), to an unused USB drive, and then booting from it to test all my applications. Is this feasible? Will the Apple Store allow it? Will this provide a valid test? Is this what's called a 'sandbox'?

You can see that not only is Safari out-of-date, but I am as well.
