I have already installed 8gb and am wondering if it's possible to upgrade to 16gb. Some forums says the maximum a Macbook Pro Mid 2010 supports is 8gb while other says it's 16gb.
Could someone clarify please? My model is Macbook Pro Mid 2010 13in.
Is this a good question?

Yes! It can be confusing!
First here is my goto source: EveryMac.Com - MacBook Pro 13" 2.4 GHz Core 2 Duo (Mid-2010)
I can tell you with the latest firmware update: About EFI and SMC firmware updates for Intel-based Mac computers or newer as some OS updates update the firmware. Get the correct memory modules (1066 MHz PC3-8500 DDR3 SDRAM) 16 GB of RAM. Make sure you have a matched pair and get them from a good source.
Lastly, you'll need to be running Mavericks or newer OS-X

Thank you mate! That's really helpful. I think I've found the model you mentioned on your comment. Is this the right one?
The specs are correct. Sadly, I don't know this company (there are quite a lot of resellers out there!) Thats not to say the modules won't work. Just make sure you can return them if they have a problem.
Thank you, Dan! Will give a try on that model, let's see what happens. I believe they do accept returns in case something goes wrong.
