[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1605406, member: 46727"] Actually you can restore a Time Machine backup from a previous version of OS X on to a new machine with a later version and it will only restore things like your data files, apps, and so forth. The restore will not disturb system files or anything (apps) that show a later version. I've done this numerous times with success. [/QUOTE]
