Thank you Baywater and Randy!!!
I'm an 83-year-old senior with a brain that doesn't work as well as it used to. I'm now a slow learner. I'm even more stressed out by change than I used to be, and I'm easily overwhelmed. I've been overwhelmed by even the thought of upgrading my OS and doing everything else necessary. I'm quite relieved that I don't need to upgrade my OS now. I can stay with High Sierra!
To confirm, my computer is iMac (Retina 5K, 27-inch, 2017). I should have checked that before starting this thread.
About backup: I have Time Machine. Only once, long ago, have I retrieved a file from Time Machine. For safety do I also need a clone even if I'm not upgrading my OS??
Next message about browsers.
