SSD boot drive: move from iMac to Mac mini?

[apfelmann]

Hello,
I currently boot my iMac 2007 from an external SSD with Mavericks attached via FW800.

Can I just install this SSD in a Mac mini and boot from it?

Or is a clean install + time machine migration better?

Thanks for the help

Can't you just try it on the Mini as it is ?

yes, but it's a question for the future ... I'll buy the new mini OR (if new one is a disappointment) current one.

Yes that will work just fine. No reason to reinstall anything.
