Greetings!
I just inherited an older iMac (mid-2010, 27 inch, 3.2 GHZ Intel Core i3) and it is currently running/supported by iOS High Sierra. I have maximum memory (16GB) and was planning to install a new internal SSD drive to speed things up a bit. My question is whether or not iOS Catalina (and newer iOS versions) will be able to run while installed solely on the SSD boot drive? Apple indicates that this Mac will not support either Mojave or Catalina. Is that information strictly based on the original hard drive? Any help or answers are appreciated. Thanks!
