  • If I clone my existing hdd to a new ssd will I still have to re-install the OS even if all my data is transferred?

  • @ASPCAfan A cloned drive should work just fine.

  • question: When i buy a macbook pro now or later on. Does it get delivered with the installing cd of Mac OS X ? Cuz i dont wanna buy it just for the new harddrive...

  • @FreakyMcJay If you're purchasing the machine from Apple, they certainly do come with install CDs (or DVDs as the case may be). When purchasing from a third party, you'll want to make sure that the OS is included on disk.

  • if i replace the hard drive will i haft to replace the operating system?

  • @stubbz25 Yes, a new drive will have to be formatted and the operating system installed. We recommend transferring the data from your old drive to your new drive before installation. See 0:53

  • Just use SuperDuper to make a clone of your drive, just upgraded mine from 250gb to 1tb then, didn't lose one file...superduper clones the disk image. Easy!!

  • @OWCmacsales right but if you were to have a cloned drive you would not have to re-install the OS? Just confirming.
