More details to Nick
1) My computer runs Yosemite
2) When I get a new hard drive or SSD, how do I get Yosemite on the new drive without an install cd? When I said no recovery partition, I meant on the newly purchased drive.
3) I need only a small hard drive to purchase, if my original drive is truly dead or about to die. Where do I go to get a new drive, 120 SSD or 240 spinning drive?
Thanks for the help.
Chuck
PS Sorry if I don't give the right info, as I said, I am a beginner and am not sure what you need to know
