My iMac is a year too old for the update. I was planning on getting a new one next year so I'm not in a big hurry. As long as I get security updates. My laptop is 3 years old. I like it keep both systems identical but I guess day to day software usage and desktop layouts won't matter. Not sure what the best option is. Wait it out with the laptop or update? I don't use the laptop very much expect for travel. Won't get heavy usage until February of next year and I'll start to looking into a new iMac when we get back. I have read some older plug-ins and software like Office won't work. I have not researched that yet. I'm avoiding another subscription plan.

If I were in your situation, I'd update the laptop and keep the iMac up to date. The differences bewteen the to OS will be mostly cosmetic and in user technique. Once you have opened an app, it will behave the same no matter which platform you are working

Thanks. I was thinking along the same lines. I typically update everything.

LibreOffice opened an Office excel sheet bit that was on my iMac. Not sure how long that will be open source. I am willing to pay Microsoft but don't need 1TB of cloud storage and 60 minutes of free Skype every month.

Well I did a bunch more reading and found out Mojave will still open 32 bit apps, etc so I installed this morning. Everything works. Even my old B&W plugin for PS. The only major difference (unless you use dark mode) I have seen is the Grab utility is now Screen Capture which is pretty minor. It works a little differently.

Thanks for your help. I made some notes for the later when I do lose Office with future updates.
