Bill, I have been using on a Mac Pro and a Mac Mini, the MacBook Pro is too old, won’t download.
As far as TimeMachine the backups are fresh, from the date of the Sierra install, all the older backups are wiped out…Apple must have done this as I sure didn’t. With Safari I have had one problem, that’s with a Xerox printer. Anything I print to it will crash whatever program…the item goes ahead and prints but the program has to be restarted…..be it Safari, Preview, Excel, etc. etc. When I print to the Xerox using Chrome it works fine so they have written drivers for Chrome but not Safari or any other program running on Sierra….as their tech support stated. I can still print to a Canon Printer, Epson and a Dymo for labels and Postage… Most of the other programs work fine, the only other problem I’ve had was trying to purchase Office 365 from Microsoft, but I don’t think that had a thing to do with Sierra.
