Hey Everyone!
I just purchased a new SSD and had it installed on my iMac 27" (mid-2011). I am wanting to copy my internal Macintosh HD to the new SSD. They are BOTH installed and recognized on my iMac.
I was told by the shop that installed the new SSD that all I have to do is drag the old Macintosh HDD to the new Internal SSD on the desktop and this will copy everything. Is this true?
Also I am still running Mavericks 10.9.5 (yeah, I know ) and want to copy that as well to the new SSD and make the SSD my startup disk.
Is there any truth to what the shop told me (dragging HD to transfer OSX and all files to SSD)?
One more thing: I have tried copying the HD as "source" to the SSD as "destination" but it is saying "the startup disk can't be used as a restore source". Not sure why. hmm
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
