Black,

My apologies! When I looked at everymac.com, I clicked what I thought was the correct model and passed on the info I found on the resulting page. Clearly I clicked on the incorrect link. Just did it again and this time it shows the 2014 model shipping with Yosemite.



I'm gonna blaming it on early 50s senility!

Again, my mistake and definitely a potentially scary one. Sorry about that.

At my office, I'm in the same situation as you for one of my critical machines. I have a couple of 32-bit apps that I can't replace and one set I'm unwilling to replace. It's nice being able to run the Adobe apps _without_ a subscription. They might be old versions (CS 5.5) but they get the job done and has saved me significant bucks over the years. That alone means even when it's time to move to a new machine, I'll keep at least two Mojave capable models on hand and operational.

I'd still consider cloning the drive and move the clone to the new machine. That way, if something goes wrong, you can immediately move back to the old Mini and use it until you squash the issue with the new one.

Yes, good call.
