A new install? For what reason? Depending upon date of build, a new Mac Studio M2 will have either macOS 13.4 Ventura, or macOS 14 Sonoma, pre-installed. You will know that this is a new install when you first start the machine and it automatically runs Setup Assistant; can't get newer than that.Many thanks everybody for your valued thoughts!
Made a TM backup as some personal and valuable data there as well as photos etc.
All my photos will now be on a specific external drive so will perform a new install and select what apps I really need and take it from there. Will keep you updated so watch this space!
