Lion - Snow leopard - Lion

Ormo1 · Apr 17, 2012, 04:32 PM

Hey guys.

I got lion on my macbook pro atm. but i would like to explore the oppetuneties in the snow leopard due to the removal of the powerPC in the lion. so my question is is there anyway that i can go from my lion operating system to snow leopard WITH the possibility of going back to lion if snow leopard sucks. i have an external device (extern harddrive) in my possetion if that help my couse.

thanks

If your Mac came with Lion, then you're stuck with Lion. You can't install a previous OS.

Not really true... It can be done, but it isn't super easy.
