Interesting that iMac Pro has an option for a VESA adapter rather than a separate SKU.
@Deluxive My guess is no because it looks like the app checks which OS version you’re using and bails.
@officemachelp Interesting. I'm not having any problems with these drives. They work fine. It just doesn't want to convert them to APFS.
@dianeoforegon No, but the crash is happening when loading the importer, and I don’t think the importer has access to the index, anyway.
@dianeoforegon I do have that, but I was referring to Word/Excel/PowerPoint.
@lapcatsoftware I interpreted it as a comment about Scott.
