I have El Cap running from an external disk on a 2014 Macbook Air because this OS predates the NVMe technology employed in this machine so doesn't see the internal SSD drive.Īs you can see Apple hardware is not generic unlike off shelf PCs and Apple don't maintain backwards compatibility with older hardware hence the confusion. If they put a little more effort into making their system a. Another alternative that most seem to miss is that you can run an Apple OS from an external USB SSD. If its just replacing that OS on a machine its straight forward you can even have Crapalina and El Cap running off the same internal SSD as I have done with my 'new' 2012 Mac Mini.

Plus, save 17 on AppleCare for the Mac mini.
More significantly it sounds like a drive has been installed in the upper bay with 'a bracket' - in the first place not all hardware on eBay is created equal and the process itself has more than a few hazards along the way - I've stripped a few threads myself in the past and the connections are easy to lift if you are even slightly ham fisted. The RAM is asymmetrical which would suggest a couple of leftovers have been bunged in - I would opt for matched and preferably good quality (a minor point I know and easy to change) Click to expand.It may be a perfectly fine machine and rolling back might be a piece of cake but based on my own experience I would be wary of any extensively modified machine (as this one is).
