I dont see any compelling reason to upgrade.
No real idea if you will lose apps. Guess we would need a list. 32 bit vs 64 bit would be the biggest issue, but unless you have something really old, prog not an issue.
I get the appeal of the 2012 MPBs, but once you have upgraded... then what? meh. Heavy, extra unneeded ports, optical drive, etc.

1. No. But 10.12 will stop receiving support (security updates) in Sept. Consider upgrading to High Sierra.
2. No.
3. Mojave: Potentially - always a risk when upgrading the OS. Catalina: Certainly - all 32-bit apps will stop working.

As far as 32-bit apps, I'll have to hope all the creators have written 64-bit versions. Thanks much.

How does Mojave affect the speed on the Mid-2012 MBP with an I5 processor (SSD, 8GB ram)?
I have one on Sierra and another I was going to move to Hi-Sierra in a couple of weeks. Now I'm wondering whether to just take them to Mojave and be done with it.
