-My Macbook pro is circa 2011.   The Apple App Store will not allow me download Mac OS 10.15 (Catalina).   I did an internet search for "Install Catalina on an older Mac" and ended up here:   [[http://dosdude1.com/catalina/|MacOS Catalina Patcher]].    I followed the instructions and now my Macbook is running MacOS 10.15.1.    So far it looks fine.    I have a copy of MacOS 10.13 installation media if I need to go back.
