Mac OS Catalina on Macbook Pro early 2015, 13 inch

Hi,


Does anyone have any updates / experience with Mac OS Catalina + Macbook Pro early 2015, 13 inch?


I'm considering upgrading from Mojave. Apple says it's technically possible to run Catalina on my machine, but a 2019 thread on this topic (now locked) had a lot of reports of faults / problems.


Any suggestions / feedback? Thanks in advance!



MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.14

Like any upGrade from one macOS to another, always have a Time Machine Backup before attempting. Personally suggest also making two Test Bootable Clones each to separate External Drives - insurance incase things go sideways. Judging from the research you have already done - Catalina does Not support any 32 bit Applications or Extensions / Drivers. It wold be diligent to check with the Developers of the Apps, Extension / Drivers before moving forwards to Catalina for a smoother transition.


Good Luck
