Intell,
Read the post, but I have some questions before I proceed with this.
1.) Obviously I'm going to partition the drive to try this install out. But here's the confusing part. According to that link it says, "There is a small gotcha to this, is that you need to install Lion to a supported platform first (such as a Core 2 Duo), then migrate that installation to the unsupported platform."
My school laptop is a Mac running 10.10, where I have a copy of the 10.7 installer (legit) for the "unsupported"/rebuilt Mac. Furthermore, the Mac I was rebuilding now has a Core 2 Duo and the firmware update. So how would I go about installing 10.7 on the rebuild? And is the rebuild still considered unsupported even though it has the right processor and firmware update?
2.) While we're at it, and I guess this ties into the last question, when do you remove that .plist file? On the supported platform? Do I still need to do this even though the Core 2 Duo is a 64 bit chip?
I know I'm probably wrong somewhere, but I want to get this right before I try anything stupid.
Thanks!
