Hello Friends!
I'm currently thinking of switching my old HDD from my late summer 2007 Macbook Pro to a Solid State Disc.
But i have a few question i hope any of you could have answer for.
1) I've been told i can take a time machine backup of my current harddisc. Then switch it out with the SSD,
afterwards boot up to make recover thru the backup i did of my HDD. (I'm aware of the problems going from HDD to SSD)
I assume i have to install a OS system before recovering the backup from the HDD??
2) I'm a big music fan and have a large library which is located on a external harddrive - where the library is set to
be on the external harddrive / all tho i can still open it without the external harddrive plugged in.
So my question for this, is: Can i have do the time machine backup of my HDD - recover it on the SSD with the itunes perfectly be in match?
I don't think the external would be a new location and the paths should be fine too i think. But am i overseeing something ?
better yet if anybody could confirm they have done it this way and got it to work would make me happy!
