This brings me to my actual question: Getting them on Office 2016 for Mac, with only four more months of security update support seems stupid. The only other thing that I worry about is that they're both still running Office for Mac 2011, which lost security update support years ago. There's not a whole lot that I can or will do about that, and seeing as they likely don't have that long to wait before an ARM Mac mini and/or iMac released, whatever. Then they're effectively unsupported, from a security standpoint, by Apple. The main issue that they (and I, by extension) have is that macOS High Sierra, the macOS version those Mac minis are capped at, will likely get one last security patch when macOS Catalina 10.15.6 is released later this summer. Since they clearly don't refresh their Macs all that often, don't care about Virtualization or dual-booting Windows, and in the interest of having them get something that they can have a similarly long time with, I'm going to see what they can do to wait until either an ARM Mac mini or an ARM iMac is released. They were going to wait until the fall to finally replace them, but then Apple finally announced the switch to ARM. My mother and stepfather both have Mid 2011 Mac minis.
