[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1651017, member: 234411"] Hello - do you still have a copy of the 'Install Mavericks App'? If so, you can follow [URL="https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372"]Apple's Instructions HERE[/URL] to create a bootable USB drive - first screen capture below is my mounted old Mavericks bootable USB drive w/ the app showing - now on Yosemite. Now, please read this closely [URL="http://osxdaily.com/2014/12/30/re-download-os-x-mavericks-installer-from-os-x-yosemite-app-store/"]OS X Daily[/URL] article about how to re-download OS X Mavericks Installer from the OS X Yosemite App Store - if you had downloaded Mavericks from the store, going to your purchases will allow you to again obtain the app (see the second screenshot from my purchases). NOW, another approach is to clone your Mavericks drive (using cloning software, such as Carbon Copy cloner and an inexpensive external HD) - you basically reformat your upgraded Yosemite drive, if unhappy, and easily return to the older OS X; Time Machine would be another consideration, which you should already be using. Let me stop there for you to think about these options, ask more questions as needed, and to let our experienced members 'chime in' w/ their comments. Dave :) .
