Apple is downward spiraling all together, they're making products to sell more
products rather than "thinking different". They're removal of useful ports that
they pioneered just a couple years before is very telling. I consider removal
of the SD card slot to be a crime against humanity.

Macs are not what they used to be.
Years ago they were light years ahead of Microsoft but over time the two
have converged. Microsoft has gone up and Apple has gone down. I remember
back in 2007 or so using a neighbors printer with my Mac and he said I'd
probably have to install some device drivers, etc. I said I'll probably
just connect the USB cable and hit print and it will print. The printed
pages came out and he was so impressed he bought Macs for his family. This
is why people used to say "Macs just work."
But it's just not the same anymore. I'm sending this email from a
Microsoft Surface Pro 7 running Windows 10... The SSD in my Mac failed
last Monday morning. I tried to recover from Time Machine to an external
drive and it restored but would not boot. Then I tried to upgrade the OS
on the recovery drive I was restoring to so it would be the same version as
the Time Machine, but it would not install because it did not see a factory
SSD. I read of others having similar problems installing or upgrading Mac
OS when the factory SSD drive is not seen.
Windows is not perfect, but its trending better and macOS is trending
down...
I would try a fresh install on an empty hard drive rather than try to
upgrade from Windows 7. Too often the spec sheet says it will work, but
it's just not a great idea even if it manages to work somehow.
