RoyN Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hi, I'm a Mac user with elderly software (High Sierra 10.13.6). Is the new version of Affinity (1.8.6) compatible with this, or should I not install the update? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
h_d Posted November 15, 2020 Share Posted November 15, 2020 Hi @RoyN and welcome! According to the App Store, Affinity Photo 1.8.6 requires MacOS 10.7 or later. According to Serif's own Tech Specs it requires MacOS 10.9 or later. High Sierra is 10.13 so you should be ok on that side, but you'd be wise to check the hardware requirements as well. (And to make a backup of your current installation, just in case...) Cheers, H Quote Affinity Photo 2.0.3, Affinity Designer 2.0.3, Affinity Publisher 2.0.3, Mac OSX 13, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted November 15, 2020 Staff Share Posted November 15, 2020 @RoyN Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums 1.8.6 is compatible with High Sierra, this release ADDS compatibility with 11.0 Big Sur without removing any earlier compatibility 4 minutes ago, h_d said: Affinity Photo 1.8.6 requires MacOS 10.7 or later. According to Serif's own Tech Specs it requires MacOS 10.9 or later h_d's info is correct, and both these are true. The Mac App Store version has a lower OS compatibility requirement due to sandboxing issues in Lion 10.7 and Mountain Lion 10.8, meaning the Affinity Store version requires macOS 10.9 or above. h_d and v_kyr 2 Quote Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!
