Like you I am wary of upgrades - you’ll recall the saga of my need to go to 
Mavericks in order to use software ( pages 9) that was out of date.  

The legacy is losing the use of major items of software that worked fine ( 
Filemaker Pro and Photoshop Elements).  I only use iCloud for Calendar 
purposes.  I back up photos on one ext hard drive and use Time machine the rest 
(photos included).
