So I've a Macbook Pro running Mavericks, and I absolutely hate it sometimes. It overheats sometimes, and sometimes the lag is unbearable. I google'ed this and found many people experincing the same problem. I tried Mountain Lion and my brother's Macbook Pro and it has no such problems. So I wanted to ask if it is possible to downgrade to Mountain Lion without a Time Machine backup. I heard it is possible through booting into internet recovery or something. But I have no idea how I do it. Help would be appreciated.

For reference: Tip for downgrading to Mountain Lion : osx

Only if ur MacBook came with earlier version of mac then u can by Restarting, cmd+option+r

I did same with my cousin's MacBook Pro who doesn't like Mavericks

Alright, but do I need a copy or installer of the Mac version I need to revert to? Or can it be easily done with the method you mentioned?

No it'll need a gud internet
Connection like 4mb or better to download 3.8+ installation (if mountain lion is the original OSX)

That shouldn't be a problem then. One more question, my Macbook Pro is 2011 model, so I suppose it came with Lion. Is there a way to upgrade to Mountain Lion without going directly to Mavericks.

Mountain Lion was a paid update. You'll either go to Lion, or a free upgrade to Mavericks.

    Phil should be held responsible for this shitfest too, just like Sarah, but it's highly likely that these decisions are coming from Satya. And this isn't even the end of it. More closures are coming.

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.

    They could've sold the studios instead of closing them, but the nazi bastards just didn't want competition down the road.

    So i just found out that f***ing s***bag Microsoft shut down Arkane Studio (makers of the brilliant Dishonored series) and Tango Gameworks (makers of the iconic The Evil Within series), among some other studios. I just want to say a giant F*** Y**! to Microsoft. THEY'VE F***ED UP BIG TIME this time.

    Started Dead Island 2, and i find it pretty lame. The story is shit. The characters are either cringe or bland (all 6 of them), The gameplay isn't fun. Even the goddamn zombies don't behave like proper zombies. They're all fast & intelligent unlike how zombies are supposed to be like. Any fan of "zombie" genre cannot possibly like this shitfest of a game. Dying Light 2 was million times better than this shit.
