[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1606285"] I doubt that would work, and if it did it would awfully slow (but again, I don't think that will work -- too old a drive, wrong OS version, apps from 2008 will likely break on modern OS, etc). Your new MBP can't run anything older than the OS version it came with, which would currently be Mavericks. It seems like you're far more concerned with the data/documents/files you produced with the old software than everything else on the drive, so why not just put that 2008 in an external case, grab the files you want, and run them on the upgraded software?
