Hi guys,
I have 2010 Macbook Pro running Mavericks and I recently swapped out the drive for an SSD.
If I boot externally from the old Mac HD, I can access the application 'Install OSX Mavericks' (downloaded from app store when I upgraded from Lion) and this is how I installed it on my SSD.
My question is, I have a Mac Mini that's gone AWOL since I upgraded to Yosemite- various music production plugins aren't yet compatible and for now I want to roll back.
If I boot from my old Mac HD with 'Install OSX Mavericks' on it, will this just do a full restore of the Mac Mini and everything will be fine?
I think this is going to work. But the reason I ask is because I know that the install discs that come with Macs are model-specific, i.e. I can't use my old Snow Leopard discs to roll back the Mini, and then upgrade. It won't accept it.
If I use this Mavericks installer on the Mini will it affect it, or will it affect my current Macbook that it was originally downloaded on?
Hope this makes sense. All of my software and hardware is legit, if that makes any difference. No cracks etc.
Thanks guys, hope you can help.
