Re: Downgrading a MacBook Air to Yosemite.

[Sabahattin Gucukoglu]

In this case, you can downgrade because the very last MacBook Airs still first 
came with Yosemite.  This one shipped with El Cap, but only because it was 
newly purchased and comes with the newest OS preinstalled; it can still run 
Yosemite if you want.  (I do, so I understand completely. “macOS” had better be 
good!)

Standard procedure: go to App Store, grab Yosemite from your account, create 
bootable installer thumb drive, boot from thumb drive, spifflicate partitions 
on internal SSD.  I would then shut down, perform SMC and NVRAM resets, and 
boot once again from USB.  Now perform installation.

For specific help please just ask.

Hi Daniel and All,
> "the computer came with El Capitan, you can't downgrade"

>From this, am I correct, in the assumption, there is no where? one can "down 
>load" an installable version of an "OS X", witch is not the latest build.
If I am wrong? can someone please direct me, too the correct website.
I am looking for "Mavericks" or "Yosemite" or both.

Hi,

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe if the computer came with El 
Capitan, you can't downgrade it to Yosemite.
If you can, the easiest way to do it is to create an install drive using a 
program called disc maker X, and wipe the drive clean and reinstall with the 
bootable drive you made.
