Just to finish the thread folks... Sam has previously advised having a Clone to hand, and I simply resurrected my old iMac with a Clone of my MacBook running Mavericks. Works like a charm, very quick and painless with Carbon Cloner and the old iMac serving us well again.
Another time, (and if it wasn't simply for our young children to do their homework) an SSD it will be, but for now.... the £10 used Samsung HDD I bought and cloned to was a wise investment to have on hand with a TimeMachine backup nearby!
