[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1699128, member: 204485"] Just one thing to ensure that you perform an update of all OSX software on the App Store before upgrading and upgrade to El Capitan. Doing a bootable Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper backup first is a great idea because you can run your computer directly off the backup (albeit a little slower) with no need to actually restore it back to your internal HD (which can be done if you decide to) and yes it would mean wiping all of the data on your HD if you did that. Personally I think, as you are new to Macs you will love El Capitan and never think of going back. It is also a very good idea to make a copy of the El Capitan installer before you run it because it is removed as part of the instal process and you never know when you might need it again. My wife recently had her HDD die in her MBP and we simply ran it off her CCC backup until we could purchase a new one, then restored the CCC copy back to the new drive no fuss no downtime. I cannot recommend this software highly enough. [/QUOTE]
