[QUOTE="xa3phod, post: 1769733, member: 395523"] Thanks for the help. I did add a sig with my specs. Here is the question - continued. I have the SSD. I downloaded El Capitan and put it on a flash drive. I installed it on the SSD. It failed. Did I have to format the SSD first? As I mentioned, it has Windows 10 and Linux on it. Should I go in and format the drive? Secondly, can I use time machine and put the image on a large flash drive and somehow copy it to the new SSD? This way I don't have to reinstall everything. Is that it? Is this why the installation failed? It did not show any reason for failing, just showing it did. Thanks again! [/QUOTE]
