Mojave along Catalina

[franzkfk]

Hi guys,

I am pretty satisfied with Catalina except it can't run 32-bit apps. Is it possible to have a partition with different macOS?

Just install Mojave on another partition and run it from BootCamp? Is it possible?

Thanks,
L.

You can install Mojave on a different partition (make sure you understand the differences between partitions, containers and volumes). But I would recommend on an external SSD. BootCamp (which is for Windows) has nothing to do with it.

But easier (though not ideal for some graphic intensive apps) is to use VMware Fusion to install Mojave in a virtual machine. Then you can run your 32-bit apps without having to reboot.

gilby is right.

Don't try to create a partition (on the same drive as Catalina) to install Mojave.
Get an EXTERNAL USB3 SSD, and install onto that.

Fewer problems!

Thank you very much. How big should be this SSD?

250 or 500gb should be "all you need".
