[QUOTE="Eclairious, post: 1690909, member: 366067"] I know, I know, I have definitely been quite the risk maker when it comes to that back-up situation. I promise I'll back-up my data now, it's been 8 years, haha. So from what I've learned: 1. Replace drive without wiping old drive [U]2. Insert USB - start-up and load the OS X El Capitan install on my laptop - no more USB needed (as I understand) [/U] 3. Will I be able to use my current Apple ID for the user settings? Thank you for your time! EDIT: I will use the hard drive disk enclosure to connect my new WD 500 GB to my computer and perform the installation of OS X El Capitan, and I assume that I will do this just as I would if it were the bootable USB drive?
