[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1551405"] All old MacBooks -- all of them -- are capable of running Snow Leopard. Only machines that came with something newer than that originally can't run SL. I suspect the problem you're having is that you're not using an "official" version obtained from Apple. But this is probably neither here nor there for your issue. Connect the two by USB or Ethernet, start Migration Assistant on the new one. That should be all that's required, and it will handle bringing over the correct/compatible stuff all by itself. [/QUOTE]
