Hello everyone,

While I like to do my own research and the answers by myself, after scouring the forum, I couldn't get a clear answer on this. I have File Encryption enabled. Should I turn it off before upgrading to HS? I've read some posts that some get performance downsides when having encryption enabled.

What's the situation currently? What's the performance impact?

Thank you!

I've upgraded 2 laptops, one was brand new, one I had been using for a few years, both with FileVault enabled. I had no issues with upgrading either laptop without disabling FileVault.
