Hi to all,
I'll sell my iMac before to have the new one at home . Now it is installed OS X Mojave and I make Time Machine backup everyday.
Probably I'll buy an iMac with OS X Catalina. does it will be possible to restore all my programs and files ?
is it a good backup method before to sell the iMac?
I'd like to be sure to have a complete backup as I'll go to erase the hard disk before to have the new iMac.
thanks
if the application is compatible with Catalina it can be transferred over with Apples built in migration assistant
it's a good method to backup before you go make a sandwich so yes
you do not need to erase anything before you migrate files from your backup time machine disk to the new computer
see this link for information on macOS migration assistant

then see this link for what to do before you give away or sell your mac

I mean to erase the old iMac hard disk before to give away. I'll buy the new iMac later.
