Mac OS

Does anyone have recommendations for the MacOS to use with 2019? A friend wants to update but wants to use High Sierra--or the oldest version that is compatible with SketchUp 2019. The reason would be to minimize problems with other legacy software.

The oldest version that SU2019 supports is 10.12 and currently they are advising people avoid upgrading to Catalina (at least the beta 3 build) for the time being as SU2019 doesn't support it.

I'm running SU Pro 2019 on MacOS 10.12 (Sierra) for that same reason — legacy software compatibility — and haven't had any issues.
I have MS Office 2011 and don't want to lose the customization options (primarily for Excel) that were eliminated in the 2016/2019 versions.
I have heard varying reports about how well High Sierra plays with Excel 2011, but I think I'm going to try the upgrade and roll it back if I have problems.
I should also mention that I did trial SU 2019 on MacOS 10.11 (el Capitan) for a short while, and while unsupported it still seemed to function OK. Maybe not recommended, but depending on the legacy software (if it breaks under 10.12) it might be an option.

Thank you, guys. That will be helpful information for him to make a decision.
