[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1633282, member: 83420"] Don't know if helps or not, but here are some points: The OS is computer-specific. So, no you can't use your copy of Mavericks to install on your Dad's Mac. And that's only fair, otherwise anyone could give their OS to everyone in the block. Any therefore registering your mini or otherwise won't help either. What you (or your Dad!!) needs to do is make sure you are running the latest version of SL; then access the Apple Store and see what's available. I know of folks who have upgraded to Lion and ML, but have had to pay as these were (I think) purchasable when introduced. Yosemite would be free if the Mac can support it and if your Dad can stand it. If you can't see Lion or ML listed, then give Apple a call. Others have found this helpful. As regards Mavericks, I don't think that's available but I may be wrong. As I said, this may or not be what you wanted, but it's the best I can offer. Others may chime in with alternatives.
