(though perhaps those issues have been ironed out)… a few people got very excited when OS 10.9 was introduced as it's meant to be a lot faster to operate than 10.8 (this sounds promising!)…. so it sounds like i want to avoid 10.10…. but i do want to be able to run these new plugins ….so a boost in performance would be nice, but a step-backwards would be a major bummerįrom what i've read, OS 10.10 (Yosemite) is slower and buggier compared to 10.9…. I'm happy with the performance and stability of my set-up…. In the past, I've sometimes found updating the OS on a machine that isn't the most recent model can be detrimental to performance - the machine feels sluggish on the new OS. So between OS 10.8-10.11, can anyone recommend a particular release? Or advice to avoid a particular release?Īgain stability and performance are most important to me… (I intend to use this laptop for a live-set) I use it to produce and mix and record (Ableton)… my soundcard is a MOTU Ultralite Mk3įor the plug-ins to work, I need to update to at least OS 10.8 If it's of any relevance, the model I've got is an early 2011 Macbook Pro 8,2 quadcore "Core i7" 2.2 15". which is making me a little nervous (because I never update unless it's necessary - which means I'm now running OS 10.6.8 - which has been very reliable for me, hence why i've never updated)
recently i've fallen in love with a few plug-ins and they're going to require me to update the OS to at least 10.8 ….
If you need more App Support after that, I recommend using the MacOS Catalina patcher, which walks you through and lets you install Catalina on unsupported machines, and because of your 8gb of ram it will be able to handle itself well in Catalina.It has been years since I've updated the OS on my Macbook. This link should take you to El Capitan’s download page on the App Store, from there all you need to do is download and install El Capitan. You may need to repeat that step a couple of times to make sure Snow Leopard is fully up to date, but when it is follow this link on Safari while on the machine. After that, click on “Show more” and make sure it doesn’t install the Airport of iLife Updates, as it will not be able to update if you try to install those. As for upgrading the OS on the HDD, all you need to do is click on the Apple Logo at the top left side of the screen, click on software update, and let it download the updates.
This one’s kind of complicated because of the SSD upgrade you plan to do, you may just want get a bootable USB stick of El Capitan to install on both of the machines.
