[QUOTE="ProfessorChaos, post: 1814187, member: 400315"] I tried to use Time Machine to recover the Mid 2011 iMac . I have an external drive connected to my iMac 2017 . I plugged in the external into my 2011 and when I tried to restore using Time Machine I got an error message saying that I could not use a Time Machine back up from a different model computer. As far as reading up on it , I did , but I got so caught up with the hardware portion that I didn't even think about the other half. Worse case , I take the machine apart and do it over . plus , I will never make that mistake again ! ( I hope ... lol ) [/QUOTE]
