I have not used Parallels, but i would assume after restoring your apps you would restore your Parallels virtual machine image for Windows and open it.ĭ. Nothing different for running Windows since you use Parallels instead of BootCamp. You can install OS X Mavericks from the OS X Utilities menu and during setup plug in your TM back up to restore your user account(s), apps and data.Ĭ. If it's not, you can use Disk Utility from the OS X Utilities menu to format it.ī. After you install the new drive and IF it is pre-formated, you don't have to reformat it. Or you can just boot with Command+Option+R to start Internet Recovery directly.Ī. If not, restarting with Command+R will search your drive for the Recovery HD and if not found envoke Internet Recovery. You should be able to boot from your Time Machine back up and do everything Internet Recovery and Recovery Mode allows. I am a relatively novice user, so basic explanations will be appreciated. Questions- once I replace the old drive with the new one:Ī) how will I format my new SSD? I am guessing disk utility will come up when I turn the commuter on?ī) how do I get Mavericks Mac OS on the new drive? Do I need to pay? How will I get my time machine back up on the new drive?Ĭ) should I format the new SSD a special way because I will be running windows on the machine? I ran windows with Parallels on the machine prior to my original SSD dyeing, was planning on doing the same with the new one.ĭ) what, if anything, can be done to avoid killing this new SSD like the last one? I am happy OWC has 3 yr warrantee on it! The original disk is completely dead.ģ) In addition to Mavericks I also run Windows 8.1 I have a few questions about how to go about using the new SSD, once installed.ġ) the drive will be blank and unformatted with no OS.Ģ) I have a time machine back up on my time capsule. I am replacing the original SSD which failed. I just ordered a new OWC 480gb SSD for my MBPR mid 2012 15".
