If you've been running a computer for a few years and you want to install a new, faster solid state hard drive for your Operating System (OS), it's a good idea to start with a fresh install to ensure the best performance.
Here are some guides to installing Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks from a bootable USB flash drive or DVD. An 8GB or larger flash drive is required. These are cheap now. Kingston makes a $14 16GB flash drive for $14, which Amazon sells for around $10. Or, if you're trying to go a low cost as possible, grab this 8GB flash drive for just $5 when placing another order on Amazon.
