[QUOTE="harryb2448, post: 1641476, member: 42497"] Your problem is going to be whoever you purchased the USB thumb drive off, Mavericks will be registered to their Apple ID, so if you get it on you will not be able to update. To overcome this when up and away register an Apple ID first, then download Yosemite OS X.10 from the App Store and burn it to another 8GB thumb drive using DiskMaker X. In the meantime, connect the thumb drive, reboot and hold down 'C'. Leave the Installer and go to Utilities > Disk Utility and format the hard drive Mac OS Extended (Journaled), and name it, back to the Installer and then run. Then we can discuss the merits of how much memory etc you have installed. [url]https://appleid.apple.com/account[/url] [url]http://liondiskmaker.com[/url] [/QUOTE]
