It might run, or it might not run. There are a lot of “under the hood” changes in every update of MacOS, and since 2010 Finale came out around when 10.6 or 10.7 was around, then I wouldn’t really be sure that it’s going to function correctly.
The installer probably won’t run, so you are probably going to have to use migration assistant to get it on. The other problem is that Macs are sort build for a certain version of the OS and beyond, and you can’t really (without a lot of hacking) get a newer system to run the older OS. Display drivers, hardware drivers, etc, are not available for them. So…….. I think probably up to 10.8 would run Finale 2010. Maybe 10.9. Your best bet would be to make a VM with 10.7 on it and use that. But the bigger question is WHY stick with 2010 Finale? You have a new iMac. You just spent $2K on something and don’t want to move your software into the new age? > On Nov 10, 2016, at 9:59 AM, Michael Dutka <mikedu...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Folks, thanks so much for the response.
