This morning warning to update mac computer to Monterey, my computer is too old and does not support Monterey. Is there a fix for the oldies or are we subject to hackers? I am running on Mojave 10.14.6, computer is from late 2013.
iMac 21.5″, macOS 10.14
Hi,
Your Late 2013 21.5" iMac can run Catalina 10.15.7. Catalina is still receiving Security Updates. I recommend upgrading to it: How to get old versions of macOS - Apple Support
Before upgrading, backup, check apps and peripherals for compatibility with Catalina
Catalina will not run 32 bit apps, so download Go64 and scan your Mac to see which of your apps are 32 bit and will need to be upgraded/replaced: https://www.stclairsoft.com/Go64/
Some apps may be 64 bit but still not run on Catalina; you can check them out here: https://roaringapps.com/apps

You (and your Mac) are no more subject to "hackers" than you have ever been. All the way back to 2013 and before.

If you want to buy a new Mac every time a new security threat arises, I suppose Apple wouldn't mind. That gets expensive though.
