Hi, To make a USB installer you only need around 6 to 7 gig so an 8 gig USB drive is enough.
I highly suggest USB 3 which covers usb2 as well but 3 works bloody quick in a new machine. As for removing a machine from the beta program, check the site for the beta setup and see what it says but I'm sure a full recovery of the HD will remove the beta installation back to default. -----Original Message----- From: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com [mailto:macvisionaries@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Joshua Tubbs Sent: Friday, 1 July 2016 2:49 AM To: macvisionaries@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: Getting the shipping version of El Capitan, 10.11.5, back from the Public beta program Hi Daniel, Thanks for the help.
