Cant find answers on google, so thought i would try here..!

I have an 4.1 Macbook, limited to OS 10.7, backed up to time machine.

I've just bought a 'new' cleaned 7.1 Macbook with OS10.10 Yosemite pre-installed, no disks supplied.

I've also bought a new SSD hard drive (and memory) for new Macbook.

So, can anyone help with the process/order in which i can swap out HD and yet keep OS10.10 on new macbook at all please?

I'm going to lose OS10.10 with the removed HD right ?

Currently i'm unsure if i just re-load new mac with TM copy of existing mac, and then update the OS via a bought disk, or a better/cleaner way would be to get (buy?) new OS on it first, then piecemeal bring over the user element of apps that i have saved on TM..

I've already turned it off and on again..

Cheers

R
