Add to what Charles mentioned - it seems that v20 requires more horsepower than v19, particularly for new features, so if your system under v18 was marginal, you may be disappointed with v20. If it were me, I'd certainly backup my current projects and database(s) and give v20 a try - it can't hurt and there are many workflow improvements. Having backups means you can always roll-back to v18 if needed. Keep in mind that when a project is opened in v20, it is automatically upgraded (after a warning dialog) and afterwards cannot be opened in earlier versions of Resolve (hence the need for backups).
