Changed the HD for a SSD

Chasalz -

My Problem

Hard drive failed previously. It's also slow on this year MacBook Pro even with 8 gigabytes memory. I copied the system using super duper to the solid-state drive. This took several hours.

My Fix

The online guide was perfect. Never having done this before I was a bit apprehensive as I am also 81 years old. As I removed each screw, I placed it in a small glass. For the three large ones I put A black marker next to each hole. I did not need to remove the battery. Swapping the drive was very easy. The entire process of swapping the drive was about one hour as I was super cautious.

Having been burned previously by static electricity, I dampened the rug below the table I was working on and I used the wrist strap for grounding.

My Advice

No further enlightenment needed. Thanks, the online manual was perfect.
