Hello Martin, Is there anything in Sierra that you don’t want to live without, or are you quite happy with El Capitan? I’m quite sure that my MacBook Air will take Sierra with ease, but for the time being, I’m not going to bother because I don’t need all the bells and whistles. I have installed Sierra on our machine we use for teaching as any mew Mac users we train will have machines running Sierra and we need to be familiar with it.
