Hi everyone,
I feel I should be able to work this one out myself, but can't get my head around it. I have a reliable old MacBook Pro (17" mid-2010, hotted up a bit). I'm still using Yosemite as I'd heard my Abode CS6 software would have problems with all newer OS.
Now however I really need to upgrade the OS, but don't want to lose my ability to use CS6. If I update the OS and want to use my CS6 suite, would it be possible to boot an older OS from a USB/external drive and still access the same software and files? Or do I need to do something like a carbon copy of the drive (everything - OS, software, files etc) and boot from that?
Happy for any and all of your wisdom.
Many many thanks in advance.
Charla
