Apple says that Catalina is compatible with my really old 2012 Mac Mini i5. Now it came standard with 4gb of ram and a 500gb 5400rpm hard drive. Will Cataline realistically work with is mac?
Going forward, I know that more ram can be added bringing it up to 8 or 16gb. Would that make any real difference? Likewise, I think you can probably replace the harddrive inside this. Not like it has any warranty that will be voided if I do. Would adding an SSD to make a Fusion drive make any difference as well?
Right now the mac is working quite well and running on El Capitan. It might not be blazingly fast but it works fine to surf the internet. I even have Logic Pro X running on it with multiple external sound banks and works fine for that. But I am told that will likely need to upgrade in order to keep connectivity with my iPad Pro 2018 when I move to iOS/PadOS 13.
