Advice Please from MacBook Owners

My MacBook Air is running Sequoia 15.7.3 very happily. I keep being prompted to download Tahoe 26.2. Does anyone have any experience of, or advice on, making this transition? I'm am always worried about changing the OS that was installed initially.

if you are happy with what you have dont change.. and if you do read and i do mean read the end user agreement.. you could be signing in to what you do not want by a back door ..

@markinkansas Thanks. I was literally logging off to go for it...I will look at what you point to. However, I suspect I have agreed to so many contracts with IT companies I have probably already agreed to be a sex slave in several countries!

Seriously, I appreciate your cautious advice.

@markinkansas Well, the deed is done and no harm so far. The only difference I can see is a slight change to the icons. I have been offered options over certain notifications, but I have no idea what the 'explanation' means so haven't ticked it.

I chose the 'General Slave' box on the contract rather than 'Sex Slave' to keep my options open when the IT moguls finally rule the world. However, as we know, these days Law and Contracts mean nothing if you have Power, Might and a Massive Ego.

@FreddieUK i run several operating systems... however if i am in the uk and have need of someone to carry my bags .. i will call ya.. and ya better run.. grin.. you would not have liked the end user agreement . none of them are good and so many just check the box that said i read it... like ya did.. glad it worked out for you . and check you security settings also.

edited .. i would think all things you see or go to will be uploaded to the cloud . and that is data
