Q: In a bind

So if your Mac has 167 GB or less for disk space that will be OK. If it has more then that you should consider get a larger disk then that.

Applications Compatibility (2)
El Capitan 10.11 Compatibility information
Also check to make sure there is a compatible driver for your printer.
Do a backup before installing, preferable 2 backups on 2 different drives.

Aug 19, 2016 9:01 AMby Heilanlad,Thanks again Allan, I very much appreciate you taking the time to help me. I do not use my machine for anything other than e-mail and safari. My other use is to hold my photography collection and shop projects, my reason for u/grading is to stay on top of the technology as much as I can so that It and I don't become OOD together. Enjoy your day.

Thanks again and enjoy your day.

Aug 19, 2016 9:14 AMby Heilanlad,Hello Bob Harris, thanks for your input, I am sure that is something I need to know. I am currently reading the
El Capitan for dummies manual and hope that eases my transition. I have come to the idea that I should be spending more time on this forum as everyone has been more than helpful. Thanks again!
Enjoy the day.
