[QUOTE="zarpanzur, post: 1617481, member: 336946"] If I order a mid-2014 Retina MacBook Pro from the apple store, and customize it with 1TB SSD and 16GB RAM, it will most likely come pre-installed with Yosemite. I have another mid-2014 MacBook Pro, purchased with Mavericks pre-installed, which I used to make a Time Machine backup. Question - Can I use the above mentioned Time Machine backup and restore it onto my MacBook that came pre-installed with Yosemite? I'd likely have to wipe all partitions and start from scratch. I've heard that you can't install/boot from older versions of OS X than came pre-installed on your MacBook Pro. Is this correct and/or is there a workaround? [/QUOTE]
