Few things to do before you download El Capitan and install OS X

  • In the Applications or Utilities folder, run disk utility. This tool has two features and the disk can be checked and permissions checked as well. Use both buttons to ensure that the disk is in good working order and press Fix Disk or Restore Disk permissions if issues are highlighted.
  • You have to check the space. Disk Utility can also be used for this, and it shows the disk space, the quantity used and the sum available when it is executed. You will need to uninstall applications, images, music or videos, or transfer them on an external disk to open the region. The download itself would probably be 5 GB or more and will then have to install space.
  • Before you use El Capitan Download, you have to make a backup with the time machine. You can use Time Machine to make a system backup if you have an external disk. In Device Settings, press Time Machine to set it up. Choose a disk and it will automatically backed up.
  • Some applications may not be El Capitan compatible, so you should review every application to see if a newer version exists to prevent any possible problems. Open the Store App and pick the Updates tab for applications from the Mac App Store. Install any identified changes.
  • It is also useful to clone your disk in addition to a Time Machine Backup, to create an exact substitute on an external disk, like a USB drive, of the Mac with Yosemite or Mavericks. Maybe you wonder why Time Machine supports the Mac, but uses a service like Super-duper. A bootable external disk is created to clone the Mac's disk.

    Safety notes for user

    Keep up to date with Mac OS. If the new version of Mac OS (currently Mojave 10.14) is supported on your Mac, install it and set up your Mac to upgrade automatically when a security patch is urgent. Also, keep your apps up to date. Offer attackers fewer ways to discover vulnerabilities. Set up non-administrator accounts for someone who is not expected to have total control of your Mac. You become its administrator when you set up your new Mac, with complete rights to make computer-wide changes. But those privileges should not be up to anyone who uses your Mac. And even though you don't have to, you do not want to operate as an administrator yourself.
