I have a client running Catalina on an old 2013 iMac with a spinner. There's no
reason he needs to be running Catalina (he still uses Lotus 123, for heaven's
sake), he is apparently just a low-information victim of Apple's antisocial
robo-nag campaign to "Upgrade! Upgrade!! Upgrade!!!"

High Sierra ran iPhoto; Catalina runs Photos. The two photo database formats
are totally incompatible, which is why it upgrades the database. And I know
that somewhere along the way (from HS to Catalina) it did a forced upgrade of
the mailboxes.
So my guess is that your undertaking would be an
Oops, I just checked, and High Sierra did run Photos, but an early version of
the database. It did get updated often going to Catalina, though.

The only way to downgrade a Photos Library from Photos 4.0 Mojave to Photos 2.0
Sierra would be to use iCloud Photos Library.

The same is likely true for all the services; Notes,
On this subject only — Photos long predates High Sierra (2015, Yosemite). I run
HS on my main machine, I still run iPhotos despite at lest two OS upgrades, and
I continually attract rafts of * from peers about running obsolete software.

After reading all the responses, I think I'm going to scrap the downgrade
option and just go with the SSD option, as much as I hate it. Going through
iCloud for stuff is not a great option given my rural Internet speeds, and he
may not have the storage there anyway.

It's the thin-edge model, you're right. That's the only one I ever came across
that had foam tape, and I've only had one of those ever come into the shop. I
don't think they make the thin-edge profile any more, amirite? All the other

Wow, you're right. It's really hard for me to believe that by sheer
happenstance, I have never (except once) worked on an iMac model newer than
2012 (according to everymac.com). But I suppose it's not entirely improbable,
because it's the old ones that need the most help. I don't recall optical
