Can I open all of my 10.6 Apps if I Dual Boot with a later version
I'm using a 2008 Mac Pro Intel Tower. I have Snow Leopard 10.6.8. I'm keeping that because of a lot of software I have doesn't work with later versions of the MAC OS and is too expensive to upgrade or has changed so much I don't want the upgrades (Final Cut Pro, File Maker Pro, Quickbooks etc).
I have 5 internal drives (if you include SSD PCI) all with plenty of space on them.
I know I can set up my computer with a dual boot on one of those drives. My question is if the other MAC OS will have access to all of my software (Excluding the non-compatible stuff).
For example I have photoshop CS5 and MOTU Digital Performer which are supported by 10.6 but the MOTU software has some plug ins that only run with 10.7 or later. If I installed 10.7 as a dual boot, would I be able to open Digital Performer?
I'm sure this answer is out there but I was not able to find it. Probably the way I worded my search.
thanks
