Thank you for sharing your experience, dig139. It’s great to know you are using QuickBooks Desktop (QBDT) 2019 R15 on your MacBook Air M2 with Sonoma. However, since this version is outdated, you might encounter some performance challenges. I’d be happy to discuss potential difficulties with upgrading to Sequoia and other issues that may arise.
If you are using a discontinued version of QBDT, please know that this may not run smoothly due to the continuous updates of your operating system (OS). As the OS receives updates, the discontinued programs will continue to age until they are no longer compatible with the OS.
Despite the discontinuation of the QBDT 2019, you can still run an outdated and no longer supported program on a contemporary operating system. However, updates to the operating system may introduce compatibility issues due to different layers, which could lead to crashes or other difficulties.
Since you are using the discontinued version, obtaining the latest patches to fix these issues and utilizing online services such as banking is no longer available. With this, you can consider updating your QuickBooks for Mac and your QBDT to its latest release to have the latest features and fixes.

If you are thinking about upgrading to Sequoia, make sure to have a backup that you can easily restore if needed.
Please let me know if you have additional questions regarding system requirements, dig139. I would be more than happy to help you out.
