Hey!
So I have 2 macbook pros that needs an HD upgrade.
First one is a retina 256 go MB pro - I already ordered and receive it's new 1 tb ssd.
2nd one is a unibody MB Pro - I already have the 500 go SSD I want to put in it and it came with a USB case.
1st one already has everything installed on the 256 go drive. I would like to use time machine to back it up, and restore it on the new 1 TB SSD.
Is it possible to use time machine to do this and put the backup in the new 500 go SSD (plugged in usb). Then once it is done transfering on the 1st macbook pro, simply put the 500 Go SSD in the unibody and install a boot there too ?
Or do I have to wipe it clean in order to install the OS on it ? If so, how would I restore the settings and such, on the 2nd computer ?
Hope this isn't getting to confusing, I'm trying to save having to buy another drive for external purposes!
