Before doing this, you must backup your data.

One thing you can do, as long as your Mac is older than the release of Catalina, is make a separate partition with Disk Utility to install the older operating system. command-option-shift-R lets you install the first OS that came with the computer on bootup.

Did your Mac (original model) ship with Catalina?

If yes, then no.

Otherwise, see the the other posts.
