I want to upgrade my old MacBook 3.1 late 2007 by replacing the hard drive with a SSD (Crucial MX100) and updating Mac OS X from 10.5 (Leopard) to 10.7 (Lion), which is the latest compatible version with it, as I know.
My question is about Mac OS X 10.7, I plan to buy it on the Apple website, and I was wondering if I will be able to install 10.7 on a new drive, after reading this:
System Requirements
Mac OS X Snow Leopard v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
It suggests that you can only install it as an update on an existing OS, and not on an empty drive.
