Greetings MacRumors,
I have a desk top Mini Mac bought new 2011 intel. My question is can I buy a Mini Mac server used 2011 vintage, and use the OS and Software bundle that came with my Mini Desktop. Want to turn the server into a desk top computer taking advantage of the second drive. Configure that as a time capsule back drive.
The hardware is the same on both 2.66 GHz Intel Core Duo. Below are the hardware specs for the desk top I currently have:
Model Name: Mac mini
Model Identifier: Macmini4,1
Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed: 2.66 GHz
Number Of Processors: 1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 3 MB
Memory: 4 GB
Bus Speed: 1.07 GHz
Boot ROM Version: MM41.0042.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.65f2
Serial Number (system): C07DX1GH
Hardware UUID: A58362F3-884A-540D-9D76-CF402C512DC0
I am wondering if any of these: could prevent me from using my Desk Top OS and bundle for the server:
Boot ROM Version: MM41.0042.B00
SMC Version (system): 1.65f2
Hardware UUID: A58362F3-884A-540D-9D76-CF402C512DC0
The Model Identifiers are the same for the server and the Desk Top I was able to discover that;
Model Identifier: Macmini4,1
Please advise, thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Greg
