if youre just doing an upgrade install, just mavericks downloaded from app store, run it, it will reboot your mac, run voiceover within 1 minute or after that so you have a little time to load if you’re using a rotational HDD. as soon as voiceover starts speaking, you’re on your way. if you’re doing a clean install, however, I’d use DiskMaker X and let it guide you through a setup with an external pen drive. it’s fairly simple though I do recommend if you’re going to use a pen or external drive method, ensure the hard drive’s formatted to OS X extended (journaled) lew On 25 Oct 2013, at 02:58 pm, Mackenzie Andrew (EAST CHESHIRE NHS TRUST - RJN) <andrew.mackenzie4@xxxxxxx> wrote: > If I do an upgrade, what will I need?
