Additionally, there are circumstances where users looking to update from Snow Leopard or OS X Lion may want to go to OS X Mountain Lion instead of Mavericks for compatibility reasons, or to avoid some of the potential issues discussed here by readers with Mail app and iCloud syncing that have frustrated some using current versions of 10.9.1 (those are since resolved with 10.9.2, update to avoid those issues). My guess is that you can possibly go all the way up to El Capitan w/o issues.Though it is generally recommended for users to keep their Macs up to date with the latest system software, not everyone wants to run OS X Mavericks on all of their Macs, and in some situations older Macs may not support the latest version of OS X anyway.
It runs great! I also have a 2006 MacBook Pro, upgraded that one from Tiger to Snow Leopard using a USB, so your should work fine as well. Once installed on your SSD, don't forget to enable TRIM: I have an iMac from early 2008 (with a SSD), fresh install with Snow Leopard from a USB on that one and upgraded to El Cap via the app Store (possible as of Snow Leopard).
Think the correct command for your is 'Press C" but unsure as it has changed a bit depending on HW version ( ) If not accurate, Google boot key command.**EDIT: I'm pretty certain it is hold down the 'Option' key on boot up!!**Then run DiskUtility from the Snow Leopard installer to fully erase and format your SSD before installing Snow Leopard (or ML if you start there). Make a bootable USB: or or if you have ML (just saw that) you can put that on a bootable USB drive as well.īoot Mac from USB and run install. Here is a link for official download of Lion: Download SnowLeopard: (there should be an official Apple link these days as well, as Apple last year sometimes put all their versions of OSX - even the ones you had to pay for in the past - online for free downloads).
