Michael,
You should just wipe the drives, that you have, install Linux Mint 17
XFCE. I use VirtualBox to VM Win7, and VMWare to do the same with OS X
Mavericks. I've yet to spin my wheels to up-grade to Yosemite. LOL!
The Mac is so useless, expensive, and I can get away with it for less
than $2,400, on my H-P Laptop.
