[QUOTE="Csmac, post: 1627067, member: 273394"] I could be wrong here, but my understanding if you load someone else's clone on your machine it will boot, but their data and more importantly their Apple ID. That will mean that you will not be able to update your machine with your own Apple ID. If you find a Mavericks installer that is not the latest one then after you install it on a clean harddrive as suggested, just download the 10.9.5 Combo Update from Apple support downloads to get all the essentials up to date and then any other updates the Apple updater suggests. Be sure to do all the backups etc. that have already been suggested on this forum before you do any installs. [/QUOTE]
