Hi Stephen and Daniel

Im also interested in doing the same, but with Mavericks as Im not
sure if it is still available?

I would like to update my MBPro8,2 from Snow Leopard to Mavericks as I
know that most of my software will run but am not sure if they will on
Yosemite?

How big are both of these OS versions as I am very limited on monthly downloads

Many thanks and best regards

Chris
