I had not however used the Disk Utility to format “Macintosh HD.” It was really my first time issuing that fatal command on a Windows platform:Īpple never intended for people to regularly downgrade operating systems. I’d used Disk Utility to format external drives and SD cards. Sure, I had used migration assistant to move data from one Mac to the other. I started using a Mac in 2009 and had never done a full format and reinstall. I would simply wipe the C:\ drive and reinstall Windows and various applications while the D:\ remained intact. All of the applications were on one partition of the hard drive and all of my data was on a different partition. I came to expect a Windows machine needs to be reformatted about every 12 to 18 months so I had engineered the set up of my Windows machine to facilitate that workflow. I couldn’t just revert with Time Machine as I had a bunch of new work on the Macintosh I would’ve lost. To complicate matters further, it took me a while to come to the conclusion that I was disappointed with the performance of Catalina or that at least Catalina would require the purchase of a new Mac – which was money I wasn’t ready to spend. With a little experimentation I found out that disabling Voice Control decreased the running of the fan significantly however, my Mac still felt sluggish. To say I was disappointed was an understatement. My Mac now felt slow, the fan ran constantly, and Lightroom labored with every switch of a photo. All of that changed when I completed the upgrade. It was stable, fast, and made my mid 2014 Mac run well. Mojave was a great operating system for me. I ran the upgrade wizard and within a few minutes, my Macintosh was running Mac OS 10.15 Catalina. Once Catalina shipped, it was clear why Nuance made their decision.

Nuance, the makers of Dragon for Mac (screenshot right), stop support for the building of that product.
