Sir,
I have downloaded El Capitan to my iMac hard drive and installed it to an external partitioned HD, to just play with it and see if I want to install it in my iMac. I have the installer on my iMac in the app folder. If I decide to install it on the iMac, can I just click on the installer that is already on the same HD (iMac) that I want to install it on, or do I need to move it to an external device or HD and then install it to my iMac? Running Mavericks now.
Thank you for your help.

Hello and welcome.

Yes, you can simply run the installer again from where it is to install it on your main HD. If for some reason it disappears, or is deleted, you can re-download it from the App Store, and then install it.

Hope that helps,

C
