You will have a certain amount of apps that you may need to upgrade for Mavericks - but you also may find that not much needs doing after an upgrade install.Īnd - you still have your full backup, in the (unlikely) event that you need to restore the iMac to 10.6.8

MAGICPREFS 10.6.8 INSTALL

Now - I understand that "things happen" during an install to update an existing system. However, I would simply run Repair Disk on your hard drive, and NOT erase, then Quit, and run Update OS X - updating your wife's iMac directly, which will eliminate all your other steps. Reboot to the Mavericks installer (it's bootable, if you used DiskMakerX to create it.) You can then delete your step 3 as you can run Disk Utility booted from the installer, and erase the complete hard drive then (if you want to). I would modify your steps, starting with:Ĥ. That would be hard on the hard drive, if nothing else, and for no reasonable use. Unless I am missing something about what you listed, why would you do a full erase of the internal hard drive TWO times? Why would you take the time to do an erase/install MavX/erase the same drive AGAIN/clone your backup to the drive you just erased a second time, then REINSTALL MavX to upgrade that full system that you just cloned back. If there is a full backup, then you have little to fear from the upgrade process.

There's no need to mention that Mavericks will create a recovery partition - it will (without asking on a normal hard drive install) My feeling is my 7 step plan is safer because it does not involve moving user directories and applications, etc., back into place from TM. Which way is preferable? Are there other methods? I can replace steps 5-7 above with the Migration Assistant pulling my stuff from my TM disk. I also run Time Machine - it too is part of the above back up step. Back at the original system, run the Mavericks installer again to install over 10.6.8, leaving all my files in place.Boot again from the SD external and use SD to clone it back to the internal disk's main partition after erasing it.This is a "clean" install due to the previous step, so it's supposed to offer to create a recovery partition. Run Mavericks installer from thumb drive.Part of previous step is a SuperDuper! (SD) update. As part of the process, I would like to create a recovery partition to use in emergencies going forward. I would like to upgrade her to Mavericks and have already prepared a thumb drive with DiskMaker X.
