Here&#8217;s our quick guide on how to make a fast and easy <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/compatibility\/OS-X-10.11-El-Capitan\">transition from OS X Yosemite to OS X El Capitan<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make sure your Mac\u00a0can run OS X El Capitan<\/strong><br \/>\nAre you running OS X Yosemite? If so, your Mac can run El Capitan as the two operating systems have exactly the same system requirements. However, if you&#8217;re not sure, here&#8217;s a list of the minimum\u00a0Mac models that can run El Capitan &#8212; just know that the Mac must have a 64-bit CPU, meaning an Intel Core 2 Duo or newer processor:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, Early 2009, or newer)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Pro (Mid\/Late 2007 or newer)<\/li>\n<li>MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)<\/li>\n<li>Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)<\/li>\n<li>Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)<\/li>\n<li>Xserve (Early 2009)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Make sure your Time Machine or other backup\u00a0has been updated<\/strong><br \/>\nRocket Yard readers are intelligent and good-looking folks who always keep their Macs <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/?s=Backup+month\">backed up<\/a> with the help of <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/32972-time-machine-what-it-is-how-it-works-and-how-to-use-it-with-your-mac\">Time Machine<\/a>, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper! or another service. Just be absolutely sure you have a current backup (or two) before you start on the off chance that something goes wrong during the update\u00a0to El Capitan. (OWC has an <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/shop\/firewire\/\">array of storage solutions<\/a> to help you with this step.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check for the update<\/strong><br \/>\nThe update is available\u00a0now. Apple pulled a fast one this time and did not make it available through the regular &#8220;Updates&#8221; tab. Instead, it&#8217;s right up front in the Featured section. Click the Download button to download the OS X El Capitan installer.\u00a0Note: It&#8217;s always a good idea to run any other updates that might be available <i>before<\/i>\u00a0running the OS X update. For example, this morning my iMac had an Xcode update and a security update waiting, so I ran those with the knowledge I&#8217;d be updating to OS X El Capitan later.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Run the update<\/strong><br \/>\nI always suggest to readers that they not try to be the first one on the block to run a new OS X version. Why? Well, on occasion there have been Apple operating system updates that have had issues right out of the gate, meaning that those who waited a few hours\u00a0were saved from having to do a complete reinstall rather than a simple update. Once you&#8217;ve heard that things are running smoothly on social media or blogs like The Rocket Yard, go ahead and run the update by launching the downloaded installer.<\/p>\n<p>Apple&#8217;s download-only OS updates are certainly a lot faster and more convenient than those old days when we trudged to the Apple Store to buy\u00a0the latest installation DVD, and the operating systems now get a much more complete beta testing period than ever before thanks to developer feedback and the Apple public beta program.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Clean install versus update<\/strong><br \/>\nSome people I know choose OS updates like this one to re-install everything on their Mac. Clean installations take a lot longer, but the basic idea is that you&#8217;re not just overwriting older OS files &#8212; you&#8217;re literally wiping the startup drive of your Mac clean using Disk Utility (available from the Recovery Partition, which appears when you hold down Command+R at startup) and then installing a\u00a0full fresh copy of the operating onto the Mac. My opinion? Unless you really have a lot of time on your hands, just do the standard update. It will take a lot less time than doing a full clean install and chances are very good that the update will go smoothly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Enjoy OS X El Capitan<\/strong><br \/>\nMost of the early reviews of OS X El Capitan reiterate one point &#8212; it&#8217;s like a tune-up for your Mac. Core pieces of the operating system have been re-written to optimize speed, and every Mac should see an improvement in everything from app launch times to faster previews of PDFs. Many built-in apps have also been tweaked to provide Mac owners\u00a0with the most efficient user interface, which should further improve your experience with El Capitan.<\/p>\n<p>Let us know in the comments section how things go for you when you update to OS X El Capitan, and how you like &#8212; or maybe aren&#8217;t thrilled with &#8212; the changes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Learn more:<\/strong> Check out more OS X El Capitan coverage from the Rocket Yard <a href=\"https:\/\/eshop.macsales.com\/blog\/?s=%22OS+X+El+Capitan+coverage%22\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just a short while ago, OS X El Capitan became available for download and installation by Mac owners.
