Where from to download older OSX version (10.9)?

Hi.

I just bought a new Mac. Thrilling...

It comes with Yosemite,

however my studio driver (UAD) support still older version only (10.9),

so I need to downgrade my OSX version.


What is the recommended download link for older OSX version (latest 10.9).

I can't find a legit link through Apple site.


Regards,

Booli.

Mac Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)

Not doable. Not only isn't Mavericks available any longer, computers normally cannot run with an OS preceding the one that shipped with the machine.


See these for details:

Computer-specific Mac OS X releases,

ICBM Builds, and

Don't install a version of Mac OS X earlier than what came with your Mac.

Make a polite call to Apple support is what I would do. Explain what you need to achieve. It shouldn't cost you much time and/or effort to get a definitive answer.

For whatever reason, be prepared for them to say No.


Bear in mind that although OS X will run on hardware that isn't specified in the listed requirements, it can be problematic and is probably against the EULA.
