Reboot to the Mavericks installer (it's bootable, if you used DiskMakerX to create it.) You can then delete your step 3 as you can run Disk Utility booted from the installer, and erase the complete hard drive then (if you want to). I would modify your steps, starting with:Ĥ. That would be hard on the hard drive, if nothing else, and for no reasonable use. Unless I am missing something about what you listed, why would you do a full erase of the internal hard drive TWO times? Why would you take the time to do an erase/install MavX/erase the same drive AGAIN/clone your backup to the drive you just erased a second time, then REINSTALL MavX to upgrade that full system that you just cloned back. If there is a full backup, then you have little to fear from the upgrade process. There's no need to mention that Mavericks will create a recovery partition - it will (without asking on a normal hard drive install) My feeling is my 7 step plan is safer because it does not involve moving user directories and applications, etc., back into place from TM. Which way is preferable? Are there other methods? I can replace steps 5-7 above with the Migration Assistant pulling my stuff from my TM disk. I also run Time Machine - it too is part of the above back up step.
