Transitioning from Intel to M4 tips?
Hi,
I'm looking into getting a new Mac mini M4. My current computer is a 2020 iMac i9 running Somona. Have any of you made this leap "successfully"? As a first test I'm going to upgrade a startup disc clone to Sequoia on the iMac as I don't think I can run Somona on the new Mac mini. I know this stuff can be sketchy and everyone's system is different so I may have to be my own guinea pig and go slow. Thanks for any tips or stories on success. I'm running mostly Logic BTW.

@dbw1 You can run all of our products on a Mac mini M4 on Sequoia, all our products are now compatible. No need for downgrading the Mac Mini and risk further problems.
We would also recommend not to use Carbon Copy or Time Machine but make a clean install of the applications and plug-ins. My Native Instruments Product does not work after using Migration Assistant / Time Machine / Carbon Copy Cloner (Mac OS)
If you have installed your Kontakt libraries on an external hard drive, you'll be able to locate these with Native Access. Reinstalling a Komplete bundle without re-downloading Kontakt libraries

Personally I've had no problems with an M4/Sequoia, although I did move from PC to Mac rather than Intel Mac to M4. As long as all your hardware is supported you should be ok, which you can check here - https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/13671802084765-macOS-15-Sequoia-Compatibility-Statement
