Q: Install mac os x 10.7 on an external hard drive?
I have a Mac Mini running OS 10.10.1. I have a few applications that have not been updated by their developers for compatibility with the latest OS X. Only solution would be to use a separate external HD with an earlier OS installed on it. I have the DVD install discs up to 10.6 that I used with my older Mac Mini model but have since then upgraded to the latest model. Problem is that I don't have a DVD drive in my Mac Mini. In my App Store there is a download option for Lion OS 10.7 but I can't download it because it won't let me. Is there any way to do this? I used to have a setup where I was operating 2 different OS.., one was on my main HD and the other external.
Thanks
Mac mini (Late 2012), OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)
