September 2018 - It’s been 6 years, yes SIX years! since I did the upgrade and I still use this iMac in anger every day! Now running Mojave 10.14 with APFS, using Dosdude's Mojave Patcher.November 2017 - It’s been 5 years since I did the upgrade and I still use this iMac in anger every day! Now running a OWC 1TB SSD and High Sierra 10.13 with APFS.Now running Sierra 10.12 Beta 2 with zero issues other than the usual beta bugs. The system continues to amaze with its longevity. New Notepad app rocks as does a stable version of Apple Mail (at last), and now that the abomination that was 'discoveryd' is dead and the tried and true 'mDNS-Responder' is back, networking is stellar once again. Only Handoff does not work (see above) but everything else is rock solid. With these simple mods, I have gained years of additional service out of this "obsolete" machine! Not as fast as my Haswell Macbook Pro or 2010 Xeon 12 proc Mac Pro, but still rock solid. Continuity works but Handoff does not (lacks built-in Bluetooth LE v4.0). System continues to be fast - but is starting to show its age compared to Sandy Bridge, Ivy Bridge and Haswell architectures! Newer apps are starting to creak at the seams & the beachball is now a fixture. April 2014 - 2 years later : now running OS X 10.9 Mavericks successfully with zero issues.
