    Worked perfectly on my sister's Macbook Pro mid 2012 with Catalina OS. Couldn't find the MacOS at the AppStore so i used the link left in the comments... then just needed to uncheck the "Automatically keep my Mac up to date" icon when downloading the MacOS Catalina and followed every step in the video. Thanks a lot.

      Ahh... spiacente ma ti ha appena investito il tram! Succede se attraversi senza guardare come se la strada fosse tutta tua ;D Sempre ammesso che non eri già schiattato col covid, tu e la tua famiglia; ve lo meritereste. Ma a proposito, hai poi trovato tuo padre? O te e tua madre lo state ancora cercando? Certo è difficile cercare in tutti i manicomi del mondo; forse dovreste provare solo in quelli più squallidi, più consoni al vostro ambiente. Ricordo di tua madre come le piaceva bere da ogni "fontana", pur di racimolare qualcosa per mantenere gli studi del figlio affetto da un grave ritardo come quello tuo, vergognandosi di te ma allo stesso tempo con orgoglio e nell'orgoglio; unica virtù di cui disporre in mancanza di altro. Ma la vita, si sa, alla fine ritrova la strada delle origini e la malattia geneticamente trasmissibile ti ha conferito la follia di tuo padre e i vizi (per te piacevoli) di tua madre. Mi auguro che hai provveduto per tempo ad una orchiectomia... aaa, NO, a giudicare da certi politici direi che è troppo tardi. Troppi ritardati xenofobi, sicuramente figli, fratelli, parenti tuoi, partoriti da donne mezze squilibrate e mezze poliziotte... Spero non te la sei presa troppo, o troppo poco (a seconda dei tuoi gusti)... Salutami lo scarico di fognatura da cui provieni ;)

    • @Rickmakes

      It transfers the whole user directory including hidden directories (i.e. ssh keys, etc...), preferences, data, certificates, etc... If you are using Adobe software... I'm not sure about licensing for their applications. I don't know how it authorizes computers. It might be best to deauthorize on the old drive and authorize on the new drive. I don't know if the authorization transfers over.

    • @Rickmakes
      @Rickmakes  ปีที่แล้ว

      I think that will work. You could also try this method to recover some hard drive space: th-cam.com/video/kon_F7qXQnE/w-d-xo.html A quick overview, when you run the Bootcamp setup, it will do some cleanup on your hard drive. You then quit before actually installing Bootcamp. It can sometimes recover a significant amount of space.

      Unfortunately I don't have either of those to test. It is possible that you would have to reinstall them. It is also possible that they would just require you to re-enter a product key or re-activate them.

      If you are having hard drive issues, I would try replacing the cable: th-cam.com/video/XbEiodR9igQ/w-d-xo.html They have been known to cause issues. It might not be a bad idea to re-install the system on the drive. You can probably do it without erasing the drive but I would recommend a good backup either way.
