Q: Recovering Apps after "Install OS X" from OS X Utilities
Hi there,
I am considering to make a clean install of my operating system from OS X Utilities screen (Command + R during boot), but have a few questions before getting my hands into the job;
1 ) I have a MacbookPro mid-2012, which normally comes with OS X 10.7.3 "Lion", but I am running El Capitan now. If I wipe everything out and use "Install OS X" option within "OS X Utilities" screen, would El Capitan or Lion be re-installed?
2 ) I have some apps, such as Microsoft Office, that I want to recover. What is the best possible method for me to backup & recover Microsoft Office (I am only concerned about the App not my user data here)?
3 ) I have an internet connection, I think this is sufficient (ans safe?) for me to go ahead with a clean install without an OS X installation DVD or an USB?
Thanks in advance....
MacBook Pro, OS X El Capitan (10.11)
