Was my response really so unclear that you thought you needed to comment on it.Ĭan you post a link or the steps on how to install Yosemite on an external hdd.Despite regular updates and improvements for Flash Player, the software has lost ground to other software programs like HTML5, WebGL, and WebAssemble.īack in the day, watching videos and playing multimedia games online were impossible without the help of Adobe Flash Player. I then presented a way to test the new OS so the OP could decide for themselves without depending on useless reviews. I was responding to the FUD referenced in the reviews commented on by the OP. That said, the person youre responding to is running 4 GB of RAM, not 2. Im sure that once Im able to upgrade, itll go a of a lot faster, but Im not facing a dire end. That said, I dont have any problems on my computer vis-a-vis slowness due to the small amount of RAM I have. You can upgrade directly to Yosemite from 10.6.8 and it wont cost you anything if you want to upgrade to Lion, which is 10.7.x, that will cost you, though I dont know how much. I have a 13 MacBook (mid-2010) with 2 GB RAM (at the moment, Ill be upgrading that soon), and Yosemite runs fine for me, no slowness, so I would imagine on a machine that has twice the memory I do, it wont be an issue. Then, when you upgrade your current OS, youll know if you have a bunch of crapware that slowed it down.


I would install it without migrating any of your apps and data just to get a feel for what it should be like. Just get an external hard drive and install Yosemite onto that. GB really isnt enough, and more is better. Is there any version after 10.6.8 that I can upgrade to without comprising on my systems speed or upgrading to OS Yosemite is fine.īut looking at the reviews, half of them are about people complaining slowing of their Mac. Should I upgrade it or not since I am not able to use many softwares because of my present OS which is becoming obsolete slowly. Can you post a link or the steps on how to install Yosemite on an external hdd.
