How to do a clean install of El Capitan on new ssd?

I bought a new SSD to replace the SATA drive in my Macbook Pro for mid-2010. I am running Yosemite. What I want to do, is to do a clean install of El Capitan on the SSD. I also bought a pregnant and plan on the use of the old drive as an external backup.

I need some advice: after installing the ssd in the MBP and the old drive in the box, I intend to plug the old drive for the MBP, format the SSD drive and then use a reader flash which I did the Setup file of El Capitan to a clean of El Capitan for the SSD install and then use the Migration Wizard to migrate applications and files from the old drive.

Is there a better way? Maybe install the SSD in the enclosure first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do cleaning installation of El Capitan?

All advice is appreciated.

installing the SSD in the pregnant first, connect to the MBP, then shaped and do clean install of El Capitan?

It's better. Some of these Macs experience problems after surgery. The new installation using the outside doing will give you confidence that it works before surgery, and no problem introduced by surgery can be separated from issues of installation and update. It will install and run in an external, just may be a little slow.

  • Try to do a clean install of Windows 7 to new SSD, would like to know if I can use the same product key.

    Original title: re-install Windows 7

    Hello. I recently built my own PC and installed a purchased copy of Windows 7 hard disk. I'm upgrading to an SSD 120 GB and I was wondering if there was a way completely erase my old hard drive for all files and all re - install windows using my CD key and product. I heard that once you use the product key, the copy of Windows is 'married' to this hard drive and the key cannot be used anywhere else. Is this true? Basically, I'm doing a clean install on this new SSD. Thank you.

    Not at all, you can erase and reinstall Windows as many times as you want as long as you have the product key.  The only restriction is that the key can be used only on one computer at a time.  Unless this key is used somewhere else, you can install a billion times.  The key is what you pay for, not the CD (in fact, if you lose the CD you can download another copy, but you need to keep your secret key).

    In any case, the process is simple: just put in the CD and restart and follow the steps to install.  When you get calls that lead to install on, you have options to format (erase) the drive and basically start over completely.

    The only real thing you need to know is that, after the installation, you will need to go to the computer manufacturer's website and download the drivers for your computer.  According to the computer, you may need to get the driver of network from another computer and copy it using a flash drive (if the network needs the driver before it can connect).

  • H8 - 1520t: how to do a clean install of windows 10 on another drive?

    Hi all.

    Today, I decided to make the transition to windows 10. I want to do a clean install, however, because I recently had an SSD and install the OS on it instead of on my hard drive. First of all, I even need my product key to do a clean install on a new drive? I made a clone of my C: dirve just in case something goes wrong, cordially. My SSD is 100% empty and has 110GB available on this subject, but my main hard drive has about 400 GB of stuff on it, so cloning my drive for the SSD drive is out of the picture.

    So basically what I want to know is this: 1. do I need to have my windows key to do a clean install of windows 10 8.1 of windows on a different drive.

    2 if not, how to do a clean install on a new drive

    3. If I need, how can I get it?

    Thank you all

    The simplest solution would be to save the data that you want to keep on an external hard drive, then remove this data and programs from the old hard drive so that only the BONE remains.  From there use migration software from your manufacturer SSD to clone the old drive to the new SSD using a USB to SATA.

    The Windows key is embedded in the BIOS and will be recognized by the computer on any installs.  It would be desirable to collect your key, just in case, using Belarc Advisor, which gives you all kinds of info on your computer.  Do this before doing anything.

    http://www.Belarc.com/free_download.html

    Share your drive and be sure that it is operational.  Now you can perform a new installation of the upgrade of Windows 10 using an ISO bootable.  See step 5 or 6 of this tutorial:

  • Clean install of El Capitan, causing all sorts of questions

    Hello

    I decided to do a clean install of El Capitan on my Macbook Pro 13 "retina end 2014 using sudo command to set up the USB bootable stick with the latest version of os x for the Mac Appstore. Installation of El Capitan appeared flawless in its execution and first start went well. Before the installation, I just formatted the disk by erasing the current drive and creating a new partition that I chose to implement the OSX on.

    Everything seems to be normal and familiar, until I try to log in iMessenger and FaceTime, which, in both cases, does not work after several attempts. Either I was told my internet connection has been lost or authentication failed. In addition to these connection problems, the overall performance of the operating system seems to be awkward and not nearly as smooth with my initial configuration to the factory system.

    I started to wonder if the current version of El Capitan available on the Appstore is flawed and broken? Someone else met weird performance / connection problems after doing a clean installation of El Capitan on their Mac recently?

    I can't use my Mac like this: someone in the support of Apple technology to address this issue now!

  • Can I reinstall an app that I bought from the app store after a clean install of El Capitan?

    Hi all

    I did a clean install of El Capitan, which made my 2011 macbook pro currently unusable.

    A few days after installation I met problems I've ever had before. Baffled because since my drive hard worked completely fine with the Mavericks and Lion. No disk ever utility error. Computer froze a couple times the 5 years ive had the it. It has been stable.

    I explained my failed attempts to solve this problem in another thread here.

    So, if this is not relative, which seems to be caused all of this, I concluded it's a failing hard drive?

    My question is the only program of value I have logical hard disk Pro X (bought and downloaded 3 days ago) so anyway, given my problems with the hard drive I have can always reinstall logic after I got a new drive and reinstalled OSX?

    I'm on a PC at the moment and looked everywhere to find my purchase history of Logic Pro X. The only thing I can find official is my receipt by e-mail. I logged on the apple.com site with my Apple ID and it show nothing bought for the last 90 days. Active iPhone and cant find a purchase history. This suggests to me that you need to check on a mac on the App Store?

    Yes. You will need to check and it redownload via the Mac App Store with the original ID of Apple.

  • Clean install of El Capitan takes forever

    My SSD on my Mac Book Pro got some corrupted files, and I had to replace it. I am trying to do a clean install of El Capitan and it takes forever. It was 10 hours so far, and the status bar is about 75%.

    I have a new SSD, the i5 CPU, the 8 GB of RAM and 1 Gbps Internet access speed. For those who take a long time for installation and operating system is simply ridiculous. I used to be an Apple fanboy...

    The download is a function of connection. Installation depends on your hardware. Your connection may be 1 Gbit/s, but read this while you wait...

  • How to do a clean install on my Equium A300D

    Hello

    I got an Equium A300D-13 x which runs vista Home premium. I bought it to PC world a few years ago. I want to sell it and I want to do a clean install to put it back to its original state. I removed all my data on an independent hard drive already. I read the virtual manual supplied and he said to start pc and press the F8 key to access the Advanced Boot Options menu and then do a repair or something? I'm sure it will be clear if I am still here! I've always been able to remember another high office I've owned to enter in safe mode using F8... This seems a little weird. Can someone please advise.

    I also had a 'local disc Q' appear in the MY COMPUTER section about two months ago. I don't know how it got there and I do not have the permission to access. I tried to change the owner of the file, but I'm not allowed? Can someone explain this please?
