Re: El Capitan - Upgrade or Clean Install

Hi Mabelin. Welcome to the list. A word of advice to you. What you just did was hijack a thread. This means that you hit reply on a message that was talking about upgrading to El Capitan and wrote something unrelated to upgrading. This is a big no no to mailing lists and discouraged by

Re: El Capitan - Upgrade or Clean Install

Just to add my two cents, I’ve upgraded to OS X 10.11 within 24 hours of it coming out and I didn’t do a clean install. One of my machines is a late 2013 Macbook Pro that originally came with Mavericks, and I’ve yet to erase that machine since getting it as I’ve never needed to. OS X El Capitan

Re: El Capitan - Upgrade or Clean Install

I always do a clean install of a new operating system. While I do copy things from a backup after the install such as my itunes library, I install all of my applications from scratch and customize all of them to my liking in the new operating system. It takes a lot more time to do things this

Re: El Capitan - Upgrade or Clean Install

Bill, I, too have a leader dog. That said, thank you for asking this question. I am most certainly holding off on upgrading to the new system for now. Kindly, Vaughn On 11/12/15, Mike Arrigo wrote: > I always do a clean install of a new operating system. While I do copy >

El Capitan - Upgrade or Clean Install

I’ve been keeping my mind open to various discussions concerning installation of El Capitan and do have a question that may initiate additional such discussion. I wonder if installing El Capitan as an upgrade or as a “clean install” might prove the better approach! And then, there’s the

Re: El Capitan - Upgrade or Clean Install

Hello Bill, I’ve been teaching Mac with VoiceOver here in France for several years and in my experience, a clean install is the safer option. Some people manage to do an upgrade with no problems, but the majority end up with anomalies that drive them to do a clean install in the end. This

Re: El Capitan - Upgrade or Clean Install

At the risk of sounding anticlimactic my advice would be to avoid installing El Capitan at this stage. Trust me the VoiceOver bugs are just not worth it. However if you insist the clean method is recommended. Instructions posted below: Hello everyone, I know this has been covered before,

Re: El Capitan - Upgrade or Clean Install

Bill, This has actually been discussed heavily in the past weeks. My take in it is this. Clean installs is a one time process for each new OS release. Its the best way to clean house too. I am waiting for .2 or .3 before I bite. El Capitan should be pretty well matured by then. El
