Hey guys! Quick Question!
My current setup:
Early 2011 MBP
HDD in Original Bay.
SSD in Opti-bay.
(Currently) Single boot to 10.6.8 with Parallels
My Goal:
Mavericks on my SSD
Bootcamp to put 10.6.8 / XP / Win7 on the HDD
(I have p.i.t.a. legacy software needs, including video software which needs native windows.).
Questions:
Can I have multiple Windows boot partitions on my HDD? Someone has said this isn't possible.
Can I use Bootcamp (under 10.6.8) to make the partitions on the original-bay HDD, and then restore an old CCC image to the intended 10.6.8 Boot partition? It looked like 10.6.8 could make a Win 7 Bootcamp partition, from the specs page.
Can I install Mavericks to my SSD, once I remove my superdrive? (I'm guessing so, since it's a download, right?)
Are there any benefits to using Bootcamp from the Mavericks environment? (is that even a thing?)
Thank you!
