Hello,
I am just using a
MacBook 7,1 (white) 13-inch, Mid 2010
Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz
4 GB of 1,067 MHz DDR3 RAM
NVIDIA Geforce 320M with 256 MB shared VRAM
and a 500 GB HDD at 5,400 RPM
I tested that computer once with the first developer beta of El Capitan but with an SSD in it and it was running very very fast.
Sadly the SSD and the two grey install discs with Snow Leopard 10.6.3 are lying around more than 700 kilometers away.
This site says it was released with 10.6.3:
http://www.everymac.com/systems/app...-13-polycarbonate-unibody-mid-2010-specs.html
I built in the HDD with a clean install of Lion 10.7.5 on it and booting takes minutes. Same with Mountain Lion 10.8.5.
I have an ISO with 10.6.0 and a PKG with a combo update to 10.6.8 both stored in my OneDrive, what at least has a f*cking slow upload "speed" (never tried to download any thing from that).
But before I start that torture which will takes hours (downloading the stuff from OneDrive, create an USB 2.0 stick or burn a DVD), I would be very pleased to know if an installation of 10.6.0 instead of 10.6.3 might work.
Does anyone know that?
I would be very happy.
Or if 10.9.5, 10.10.5 or 10.11 PB 7 even might run faster than 10.7.5 and 10.8.5? I am able to download these three in my AppStore purchases what only takes a few minutes.
Once I tried to install 10.6.0 on a MacBook Pro Late 2011 what was introduced with 10.7.2. I did not work. But a preinstalled 10.6.8 from an SSD of a MacBook Pro Mid 2009 is running without any problems in that machine.
Kind regards
Edit:
Another question: On 10.7.5 I was able to install all updates manually and left out the iTunes update to the newest 12.x. I found a download to the newest version of 11.x on apple.com/downloads/.
In 10.8.5 the AppStore is launching and I tried to install the updates without iTunes, but they don't start downloading if I don't click on download for the whole package. Do I have to search for each of them on apple.com/downloads/ too or is there another way to leave iTunes out?
Oh, suddenly it seems to work:
