what's the best way to convert 2012 Mac Mini i7Q Server to Mavericks/Yosemity workstation using new SSD as main drive.
Same time is it possible to save image from 2012 Mac Mini 2.3Ghz i7Q Server model and use it on non-server 2012 2.6Ghz i7Q model later on...
or is the MM Server license tied to serial#/mac address?
P.S. reading the post from rvs007 - is that best answer to my second question?

Anyway, once you have the USB drive made, then you can proceed with your hardware upgrade. Once that's done, you would boot up the computer with the USB drive ......
