Just did my homework and made sure the items were for a macbook upgrade of the age that matched mine. I bought mine from ebay as I already had an account there and did not have one with amazon or any other online markets. I had also filled up my 250gig drive so I needed something larger.Īfter reading this post I deciced 16gigs RAM and 2TB was the way to go. Even with the old configuration, I upgraded to OSX Sierra, but the 4gigs RAM was maxed out and it was dropping processes to accommodate other more important ones, so obviously I needed more RAM. I successfully upgraded my macbook of the same specs, a mid 2010, 13 inch to 16GB RAM and a 2TB HDD from the original 4GB RAM and 250gig HDD. Impatiently waiting for Sierra with Siri. And with my 16GBs I can see that frikkin Yosemite STILL ***** up & keeps sucked up BIG chunks of RAM. The first bootup after installation took a little bit longer than usual, but after that all's well. NEW! 16GB 2 X 8GB DDR3 PC3-8500 SODIMM PC8500 1066MHz LAPTOP MEMORY RAM This is the 16GBs of RAM I bought off of Amazon for my mid-2010 MB 7,1: Capitan is MUCH better than Yosemite as far as freeing up unused RAM memory is concerned and, it appears to me, better also at prioritizing CPU usage. Upgrade its firmware though, and run at least 10.10.** Yosemite or, better yet, El Capitan which I had on another hard drive that I stupidly (not accidentally) turned into a shiny skipping stone. I need an answer like by the end of today! ASAP.ġ6GBs in the 2010 all-white 2.4GHz Macbook definitely works: If none of these upgrades are possible I am sending this computer back and getting my money back. Isn't possible to upgrade to 8GB - 16 GB or more on a system like this? I am only curious, I bought this from a retailer on eBay who refurbishes Apple laptops and I bought this for a family member.
Macbook pro mid 2010 hard drive upgrade install#
Does this mean I could install a 1 TB Hard Drive? Can this computer handle a second 500 GB Hard Drive at All? My Second Question is in regards to the memory Now I go to a page that is archived page and no longer updated by Apple, It says the most that this computer will handle is 2 GB to 4 GB. OK heres what I researched and understand based on my research from an archived page, and and some reviews I read as well:Īccording to it saying that the most this computer can handle is a 750 GB Hard Drive, yet I go to and when I look at the SSD (Which I can't afford) says this computer can be installed with a 1 TB SSD. Before I get started here are the specifications for my system:
