    System differences between upgrading two versions or skipping a version

    Greetings, With my classic Mac Pro, I used to do clean installs of macOS for a fresh start. However, with my M1 Mac Studio, I’m going to upgrade from Monterey 12.7.6 to either Ventura or Sonoma.

    Curious if your Mac OS version's Spotlight search returns results from within Library/Preferences?

    Recently searched for a file known to be in ~/Library/Preferences/ (while in OS 10.15), and got no results. Same in 10.11. (But worked in 10.6.) Files within other "system" folders can be located, and results were always set to "include System Files" and "Visible OR Invisible" and standard...
