[QUOTE="dtravis7, post: 1274939, member: 8287"] I upgraded my 1.66 Core Duo Mini to a 2.16 C2D out of an iMac. Works GREAT BUT.... Lion refuses to install? Why you ask? Lion reads the old Firmware that can NOT be changed and that tells it Core Duo so it will not install. Only way around it is install Lion on the drive from the Mini on a supported Mac then put the drive back in the mini. That works. Should not be illegal as long as the mini is registered with Apple and has a store account. [/QUOTE]
