1. where can I ask OCLP questions ?

2. mid 2012 MBP running Catalina is my staple machine used everyday for *everything*, I need to keep it running. It has an optical drive. I'm thinking about installing an additional SSD drive in the place of the optical drive (this is easy) then using OCLP to install Monterey to the new SSD in a multi-boot fashion so one or the other can run at one time. Questions:

2a) anyone foresee problems doing that ? (well the firmware but with EFI booting with OCLP that shouldn't be a problem, its just to make sure I intall the right stuff on each SSD

2b) given that they will run (at separate times) on the same machine will there be any issues with iCloud ? I expect iCloud uses some kind of machine identifier to recognise what OS is running on a machine so it knows what OSs are running on a particular iCloud account does it ?
