If that doesn't work, if the 2 computers have the correct cable connections, try the Target Disk Mode.

Jan 23, 2015 2:04 AM in response to Eric Rootby G.Alby,Hi Eric,
Before upgrading from Mavericks to Yosemite I wanted to test. So I went ahead and clean installed Yosemite on an external hard drive, then I've restored all apps and data with Migration Assistant using a Time Machine backup.
Besides from 3 apps that lost their activation key during the process, all the rest moved nicely and smoothly. Everything was exactly as it was on my Mac. MS Office up and running, some Adobe apps as well, all working fine.
Although I've read that by doing a clean install, and the restoring a Time Machine backup, I'm actually not having a clean install, as I'm migrating all apps and data I'm even migrating bugs from the old OS.
Is it better then upgrade rather than a clean install and a TM restore?
Thanks
