I am seeing a problem with Mac. If in fact you own a perfectly good one but havenโt updated the Operating System in years, you may be stuck with a computer that cannot readily do the menial task of surfing the web.
There are legacy browsers that are hit or miss but Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Edge, etc will not work on OS X versions 10.6, 10.7, or 10.8. (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion)
Depending on the year and model of your computer
you may not be able to upgrade past a certain OS X (now called MacOS) version. We are now ten operating system versions removed from Mountain Lion. Imagine being on Windows XP still, while Windows 11 is now the Microsoft standard OS. That is only a six version difference. Apple and Microsoft do not support updating these old versions readily anymore.
If you have important documents, pictures, videos, music, etc. the time to backup, upgrade and buy newer equipment is now. Backing up remains the most important.
