Ok, Thanks David & David.
I managed to download the Apple Silicon version 5.10-1.  It comes into 
Applications as a 15December 2024 date - not today’s date which left me 
confused.
However, it seems to have populated all my data so I am more than relieved!
Thanks for all your advice and help.
Owen.
