A 2014 mac mini can always run Mavericks. Stay away from Yosemite if you have an hdd and upgrade to an ssd asap!

A late 2014 Mac mini cannot natively run Mavericks. Keep in mind that almost every Mac (there are a few exceptions) can't be downgraded below its original shipping OS due to Kexts for it not being present in the previous version.

You are right. My statement was wrong. Thank you for correcting me!
