I got an e-mail from Apple a few months ago about upgrading to El Capitan.  I haven't done it yet because I've read there are problems with it.  I'm wondering what others experiences have been.  I don't want to do anything to mess up my computer but am wondering if I should be current with El Capitan.

I installed it the day it came out and I haven't had any issues.

I'm with you.  I have always waited a while before downloading anything new from Apple because there are so many comments about problems.  I still have the email to upgrade, but haven't made up my mind yet. Maybe we'll get more comments here.

I installed it on day one also. No issues for me. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

Mine stopped 2X but I was able to re-start.  

 

Much smoother than Yosemite.

Thanks @Cookie2025 and @Mothertrucker.  I'm going to have to think seriously about installing it then.

I know I'm really behind the times. I can't install it as I'm using the last OS that won't, OSX 10.6.8 Snow Leopard. Guess they ran out of cats. My son say I really need to get a new computer that has it. Maybe for my birthday.

@Cookie2025  What do you mean that it stopped 2x?  Did it stop while you were installing it, and you had to restart?
