Thanks for the info. So my next question may already be addressed elsewhere on this forum. If so, could you please redirect me? How do I Purchase and Download El Capitan if I do not have a Mac? I have access to a Mac. A friend's computer. I do have my own Apple ID, though. Do I log into my friend's computer with my own Apple ID and then purchase from the Apple Mac Store and download? Can it be easily transferred as a file to a USB dongle? Thanks!

Jake- I just bought a Dell Latitude E6230 / 8GB RAM / 256GB HDD / Core i5-3340M 2.70 GHz. Can I install El Capitan on this computer? If so, do I just follow the new Clover guide?
