Have I reached the end of the line with my Mini?

[Trainwreckmusic]

I am currently running iOS 10.12.6 and PT 2018,4 on a Late 2012 mac mini 2.6 i7 with 16gig ram and a 250 apple SSD.
I have kept all of my subscription and support plans up to date and have a PT perpetual license


According to Avid's system requirements and compatbilty supported systems info
PT 2018.4 is the last supported version of PT for my 2012 Mac Mini.

So my question is unless I spring for a new computer have I reached the end of what PT versions my mini can handle? If so am I basicly wasting money on the support and upgrade plans unless I am willing to invest thousands more on a new computor?

Thanks

Your Mini can run the latest OSX currently available which is Catalina.

So iOS10.15.3 & Pt 2020.5 while not officially supported are compatible and should be fine on my system?

Thanks

It is not iOS but sure it is compatible. I am using macOS 10.15.5 here with zero issues

Thank you so much for your help.
Is there a particular combination of iOS and PT that you have found is stable and recommend. I know that often the latest versions of OS and PT can have some glitches and bugs that pop up and have yet to be addressed.

I am fine being a OS and PT version or two behind if it means less issues.
Thanks again.

Stability has more to do with how clean is your platform. I started from empty storage to build my -then- 10.15.4 & 2020.3 and it has been very stable even though I have now updated to 10.15.5 & 2020.5

No problem. Clean install is your friend, and do not use any migration tool, especially Migration Assassin
