  macOS Catalina with late 2015 iMac

  Model Name: iMac
  Model Identifier: iMac17,1
  Processor Name: Intel Core i7
  Processor Speed: 4 GHz
  Number of Processors: 1
  Total Number of Cores: 4
  L2 Cache (per Core): 256 KB
  L3 Cache: 8 MB
  Memory: 40 GB
  SSD 500GB

  will this work with macOS Catalina well? or would Mojave be a better option?
  The SSD drive is running out of space so I will need to either add more at a shop that can help me with that or figure out what is taking up that space. All my photos and FCP X is on external drives.

  I have Catalina on my 2013 iMac with 24gb RAM and it’s working pretty well. It maybe has to think a fraction longer to do some things but nothing that’s bothersome. I’d expect your iMac should be fine.
