Hello.
I have some battery related problems with my macbook pro and it seems that I have to send it for repairs.
Currently I'm working on my master project and I can't wait for a week or so to get it back.
I have a mac mini. Will I have any problems if I remove the ssd from my late 2011 pro and put it in the mini?
The programs will work + parallels etc or I will have permission problems??
Thanks
 
Should go fine, I took a drive straight out of a 2007 white macbook and put in a 2010 pro and it booted perfect. Check all the updates are up to date and should be good to go.
 
It will work fine, I did that with an SSD from my 2010 MBP to my 2009 Mini.
 
Again will work fine. Did this with the drive from my broken late-2011 MBP into the 2009 Mini. First boot takes a bit longer, after that it will work just fine.
 
No, that should be fine. I meant that your Mac Mini could in theory be running an older version of OSX that doesn't have drivers for the MBP.
