In this video, I talk a bit about my new to me 13" MacBook Pro (Mid-2010) and show you how to replace the HDD to an SSD and change out the ram.
After making this video, I found out that you need at least a Mid-2012 MacBook Pro to run windows 10. So my example in particular in the video, is not going to be able to run it.

i have the same macbook (as a second mobile device/mac/PC) and i have also upgrade an 500 gb ssd and more RAM. Last time the battery nearly explode and i installed a new battery. The touchpad was also broken with the broken battery and i also installed a new (original) touchpad. I have high sierra and snow leopard on it :-) Now i see how long it makes in the future, it is a good macbook

I'm watching this on a mid-2010 17" MacBook Pro. I paid £1600 for it back in 2010, reduced from £1800 !! I've already upgraded it to 8Gb RAM but could do with an SSD update. The CD drive has also packed up since it fell off my sofa many years ago.

I'm glad I came across your video on this MacBook. I'm an original owner of a mint MacBook Pro (mid 2010) and I wanted to squeeze out an extra few years while I save for a new MacBook. I wanted to upgrade to an SSD, MAX out the Ram and change the battery. Your Video gave me a guideline on what to do because I never open a computer before, but I feel it can't be hard. What was the max ram you put in?, size of SSD and did you changed the battery?? THANKS! :)

Hey, I'd like to mention that you can replace the Optical Drive with a HDD/SSD by using a Hard Drive Caddy Adapter, if you need more storage, then i'll suggest using this method, if you want to keep the DVD Drive, then i'll suggest buying an external hard drive (I woudn't recommend this option since Macbook Pro's from 2008 to 2011 use USB 2.0 Ports, whilst Macbook Pro 2012 use USB 3.0 Ports). I hope this helps you if you need more storage in your Mid 2010 Macbook Pro.

Could you suggest me a software or tool to check the issues please?

I think the four gigs of ram in that in that Apple MacBook is already an upgrade I think those originally came with two gigs of RAM embarking 2008 2009 you paid out $100 for 4 gigs of RAM or $100 for a bigger hard drive like a 350 gig hard drive Apple makes good computers but every time you want something a little bit extra you're paying for it

My question is, can I put a 50gig ssd in and do you know the max ram that I can install to squeeze some more life out of this machine? Also, I think I need a new graphics card if you can make a recommendation. Thanks in advance!
@marcostechtalk1714
@marcostechtalk1714 4 жыл бұрын
You won’t be able to run another graphics card as this has integrated graphics soldered to the motherboard. 50GB SSD is far too small. Even 128GB is probably pushing it. I think you can max it out to 16GB Of ram if it has the newest firmware that it supports.

I would not consider getting that today unless it’s just to mess around with. It will be very slow by today’s standards. Maybe wait till the new ARM Macs come out and pick up a late model Intel one for a little less. Or get a 2013 retina MacBook Pro because at the very least those will run Mac OS Big Sur coming out later this year. As for the fate of future releases it’s anyone’s guess if it will still be supported.

Since you replaced the hard drive you need to reinstall Mac OS. Best bet is probably to put the old one back in and create a boot usb. Or if you have another Mac or a friend with a Mac you can use theirs. Apple has a guide on how to do this on their site. support.apple.com/en-us/HT201372

Yeah I could have. Thought it about after I already changed everything over back then lol. It was much better from what I remember after the swap.

A quick google search says it may be possible but it may require updating the ROM. I would research it and see if it is something you are comfortable doing.

Is this still worth doing now in 2020? What OS can I install after changing the drive?
@marcostechtalk1714
@marcostechtalk1714 4 жыл бұрын
Officially is high Sierra. Unofficially you can run Catalina. It runs decent on high Sierra. If you get one for $130 like I did and you don’t have a Mac but want the Mac experience. I’d say it’s still worth it. Or if you need a laptop I’d say it’s WAY better than any pc would be at this price point new. I wouldn’t pay more than probably $150 for one especially since it will probably stock. The ram and the ssd I think cost me another $80.

True, I should have. However these days it is widely known the benefit of an ssd vs and hdd, so I did not think to include that. Definitely a consideration for a future video.

Everymac.com states it can run up to windows 7 64-bit. Maybe there is a workaround but natively it looks like that is all it does. Apple probably didn’t write drivers for the newer versions of windows for it, so even if it could run it would probably be a bad experience.

@marcostechtalk1714 2 жыл бұрын
Pretty sure it was a Mid-2010. I think I remember seeing that in about this Mac but I’ve gone through so many since that it is hard to remember. I remember I had a Mid-2012 in high school that was a first gen i7 one. That one was much better. This one is notably slower.
