iLee Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hello, i'm building a new system and was wondering if it could be possible to clone OSX Lion from my old build on to a ssd and use it in my new build? Or should i just do a clean install? Old build: Mobo: P35-DS3P, CPU: E6750 and GPU: GTX260 New build: Mobo: Z68MX, CPU: i5 2500K and GPU: HD6870 I know DSDT.aml will be different Maybe SMBIOS.plist will be different all the kexts specific for the old build? What more do i need to remove/swap could someone help my with this? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
