[QUOTE="pm-r, post: 1770201, member: 175845"] Why even bother upgrading if that's the situation, unless they are having some problems with some Internet sites etc. And if so, then create a partition and use CCC (Carbon Copy Cloner) to clone the SL volume to it, (free to use for that) and then install whatever later OS X you want on it so that the SL and later versions [I]will both be available[/I] to boot into. BTE: I'm an old mid-70's curmudgeon that often uses El Cap'n on a 2007 MBPro without any problems, but it does have 6GB memory and a SSD. Personally, I'd doubt very much that anyone with [I]the beginnings of dementia[/I] is really going to notice any difference either way don't you think!! O:) - Patrick ====== [/QUOTE]
