[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1947341, member: 175845"] I would think you could do what you want to do with some partitions and cloning software such as [B]Carbon Copy Cloner[/B] and/or [B]SuperDuper!,[/B] and maybe add the purchase of a older compatible Mac and maybe an external bootable hard drive. I believe the mid 2011 iMac was the last Mac model that could run snow leopard and needs the special 10.6.8 installer. I have the same model and have various partitions from Snow Leopard, 10.6.8 currently running El Capitan 10.11.6 with the potential of running High Sierra for its latest supported OS. With such a Mac model, you could carry on as you are currently doing and just shut up the various OS versions with the software and Mac OS version you want to use at the time. I hope I understood and answered your question correctly as to what you actually want to do. It sure works for me for those times I need or want to use some old software that doesn't have a proper upgrade available. Good luck. 😉 - Patrick ======= [/QUOTE]
