Will Yosemite run on a 2010 Intel Mac Mini?

[Kevinsocal]

Sucks here tonight - iOS9 stopped supporting older versions of iTunes. I cannot sync my iPhone that is now running iOS9. I am still using Snow Leopard because ProTools 8 is my main workhorse. It wont run on Lion - Yosemite. I am not going to pay $1,000 for ProTool 9-12 just so I can sync my iPhone.
I am thinking of zero formatting my drive and installing Snow Leopard on one and Yosemite on the other. Will the Mid-Summer 2010 Intel Mac Mini run Yosemite?

Specifically, the supported minimum Mac model list includes the following hardware:

• iMac (Mid-2007 or newer)
• MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or newer)
• MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or newer), (15-inch, Mid / Late 2007 or newer), (17-inch, Late 2007 or newer)
• MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
• Mac Mini (Early 2009 or newer)
• Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
• Xserve (Early 2009)

A common thread is the Mac must have a 64-bit CPU, which is typically an Intel Core 2 Duo or newer processor. Beyond that, the requirements are pretty soft and forgiving. You’ll also need a few GB of available disk space to install the final version on your Mac, which is typical for updating any system software.

Certainly, in fact I am running Yosemite on the very same model of mini.

Thanks for a perfect answer.

Excellent. Thanks for taking the time to write.
