upgrading advice from os 10.14.6 Mohave

Hello,

Looking for advice on upgrading from OS 10.14.6 Mohave. Should I upgrade to Catalina or go straight to Big Sur.

Specs on my system below. Working mostly in Archicad 24, 23 and a few projects still in 21. Hoping to start 25.

Any thoughts/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Peter

Hello Peter,

If it helps, I ran AC24 on Big Sur (2019 MacBook Pro with current OS) before upgrading to AC25 soon after it’s release.

If you are still using AC21 you may want to review the guidance on the various macOS...
