Downgrading [or UPgrading] from Ventura back to Monterey I recently made the move from Monterey to Ventura. I typically do not install a new OS release, until I have a chance to review reactions from other users. But since it took me 10-1/2 months to finally get Monterey to run, I figured Ventura might actually improve the situation. So I made the jump. I assumed I could use my TM backup to go back if it didn't work out, but I now see that going back to Monterey from Ventura might be a VERY cumbersome process. Unfortunately, I've had MAJOR issues with Ventura. So I'm hoping that someone can suggest the simplest way to go back to Monterey. (It's my understanding that this can NOT be done from a TM backup.) Any good suggestions would be greatly appreciated. PS: For those who might be wondering, the issues I had with Monterey turned out to have been caused by Migration Assistant. This was apparently due to Apple's restructuring of the system hierarchy. I'm not sure in which OS this actually changed, but it would have been nice to know before wasting almost a year of productivity.
