[QUOTE="AP Pro, post: 1082899, member: 145532"] Hey all! Quick question: So I've used Time Machine in the past to restore a system on my wife's Macbook bit for bit after installing a new hard drive using this article: [url=http://gizmodo.com/333319/the-secret-of-the-time-machine+assisted-hard-drive-swap]The Secret of the Time Machine-Assisted Hard Drive Swap[/url] However, I am about to install a new hard drive in my Macbook Pro, but also would like to upgrade to OS 10.6 at the same time. Does anyone know whether, if I boot from the OS 10.6 disc after installing the new hard drive, and then restore my system from Time Machine (even though my Time Machine backups were from OS 10.5) whether the new hard drive will be restored with 10.5 or 10.6? I'd like to just do everything in one fail swoop, so it would be ideal if it would work this way. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
