Can I install an ssd and his system from MacBook Pro mid 2010 on a Mac Pro mid 2009

Hello


My MacBook Pro just died yesterday (logic board) and I want to install the SSD containing the system on a Mac Pro.

I Just ordered a case to install the ssd in the machine.

I am wondering if I will be able to boot directly from this SSD or if I have to make previous adjustment to the system.

Since both Macs are able to run the latest version of OS X and you want to move the SSD to an older rather than newer Mac, it should work. I assume that by saying you "ordered a case to install the ssd in the machine" you mean connecting it via USB rather than internally, which would be an excellent test.

If it works, I'd suggest running the combo update for whichever OS is on the SSD once it's installed in the older Mac.
