I just rebuilt my late 2009 27" iMac with 3TB HD 250GB SSD and upped the RAM to 24GB - hoping to get a few more years out of it ;o)
I didn't find the process too daunting though, of course, you do have to take care with leads and connectors etc. I do believe it gets progressively harder the newer the iMac - mine had the glass held on by magnets not adhesive tape, for example. I find the OWC installation videos excellent - pick your specific model of iMac and watch the video - that should give you a good idea if it is the sort of thing you will personally be comfortable with. <https://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos> HTH Neil On 23/07/18, 12:51, "Peter" <[email protected] on behalf of [email protected]> wrote: Yes, I think it is a cheap upgrade. I’ve done this to a number of MBP’s I have, not sure how easy the retrofit is for an iMac though.
