All-new Interface. MacOS Big Sur brings a new design that’s been finely tuned for the powerful features that make a Mac a Mac. Core features, such as the menu bar and Dock, take advantage of the large Mac display, with translucent backings and spacious pull-down menus. Snow leopard (10.6.8) or later. There are the heaps of improvements added this time, hardly giving you a reason to say No to Mavericks. New applications, improved finder, the refined interface, more salutary calendar, social media integration and much more. A small pointer for any who have the same issue. I put in an entirely new 2TB WD sata drive and then preformed a fresh install of snow leopard onto it. When I got to the section to choose which drive to install to there was no drive image. I clicked at the top on disk utility, then picked the drive, clicked erase and erased the drive.
