Suzie's Soliloquy Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 How hard would it be to upgrade from 10.4.8 to any version of Leopard? Thanks =] Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97162-how-hard-would-it-be/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted April 2, 2008 Share Posted April 2, 2008 It really depends on your hardware. Just backing up your stuff, formatting and installing Leopard would be quite easy if that is what you meant.

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted April 2, 2008 Author Share Posted April 2, 2008 Is there no way to do an 'in place' upgrade? I mean without formatting or losing settings Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97162-how-hard-would-it-be/#findComment-693890 Share on other sites More sharing options...
apowerr Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 Is there no way to do an 'in place' upgrade? I mean without formatting or losing settings To be honest I've never tried it. What is your hardware? If you're using near vanilla hardware, it might be possible I'm not sure. It would be a lot easier to back everything up and format, but I realize thats not what you're after. Sorry, I really can't help any further than that. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/97162-how-hard-would-it-be/#findComment-695453 Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefinalprophecy Posted April 4, 2008 Share Posted April 4, 2008 It's gonna mess up the whole darwin bootloader when you upgrade, so you'd have to reinstall darwin/efi/etc so it's probably much better just to do a clean install.

Suzie's Soliloquy Posted April 5, 2008 Author Share Posted April 5, 2008 Ah right, well thanks for your advice then =] How effecient is Carbon Cloner (For making this sort of backup)?
