Upgrade feasibility?

I have a 2017 iMac with 16 GB memory, now on OS High Sierra 10.13.6. Would like to upgrade, but am concerned about the large jump in upgrades. Can I upgrade in 2 or more steps to make it less of a change? Is it safe to just go ahead and upgrade? I've never had problems in the past, but have never let things go so far without an upgrade?

iMac 21.5″ 4K, macOS 10.13

Be forwarned that any apps you have that are 32 bit will not work with Monterey, only 64 bit app. So you will have to update those apps (if updates are available) or find alternatives.


To find out which of your apps will and will not work download an run the free app GO64. It will tell you which apps are 32 bit (or have parts that are 32 bit) and which are 64 bit.
