Hi Guys
Apologies if I have posted this as a new thread and theres a similar one open but I just wanted to ask a quick question.
I have recently purchased a Mac Mini 2011 from eBay with the below specs and I have a question about upgrading to an SSD. I've watched a lot of videos on how to install the SSD and I'm pretty confident I will be able to do it with the right tools at my disposal (OWC Data Double SSD Installation Kit). My question is this; If i remove the 500GB HDD and replace it with a 240GB Crucial SSD will I need to make a copy OS X on an external HD to boot the OS and install it on the SSD. I am not bothered about loosing data as I rarely store Movies, etc on the HDD and most of my stuff is in the cloud. Sorry if this is a stupid question.... :S
Specs:
2.3GHz i5 - 8GB Ram - 500GB HDD - Intel HD Graphics 3000
Thanks,
Cormac
