2010 MacBook Pro Upgrades (SSD & RAM)

[@training7574]

Very well made tech video with clear explanations and proper, calm music. No big Ego, no hard sales prop, no screaming music or violent camera moves - just the clean tech. Thanks. Btw, very useful for a MacBook owner, considering putting an ssd in his old machine.

I just upgraded my mid-2010 MBP with 16G of ram. Something to note: after restarting there were 2 processes (rpcsvchost and MRT) that used 100% cpu for several minutes, then all was good. Already running High Sierra with an SSD.

[@matthewtymaja3760]

The mid-2010 13” MacBook Pro is unique (for its time) in being upgradeable to 16GB; I have one running Catalina via the dosdude patcher. It is a shame the 2009 17” didn’t use the same nVidia platform controller, so can only go to 8GB.

[@Enrique98Diego]

@@matthewtymaja3760 Do you think i can fit 2 x 8gb on a MacBook Pro "Core 2 Duo" 2.4 13" Mid-2010? or upto 2 x 4 gb? on the official site says 2 x 4 gb i just would love to verify

[@bbfreak8367]

Hello, thank you for a great tutorial! I followed your instruction. Upgraded mine to 8 GB RAM and a Crucial SSD 1TB, but somehow when I turn my MBP 2010 on, I get the white screen with cursor only. I tried rebooting holding down the shift key then it shows the folder with a question mark. I would appreciate your help to get me to the install disc option.

Where/what do I Search for this RAM? and Can I go Bigger than two 4GB RAMs?

[@tejasghate799]

Hi there, I have an old MacBook Pro which doesn't turn on. I have some data on that hard drive. I was wondering if I convert the hard drive into an external one using a casing and connect it to another MacBook, will I be able to access my data?

[@cfwelectronics4789]

Should work as long as it is connected to another Mac.

[@mohammedbanaseer9821]

How can i set up the install disk ? Can u make a video for it pls

[@uncledaddy4625]

Put your install CD into the MacBooks cd drive Boot the Mac from the cd by holding the ‘C’ key Install MacOS by following the prompts

[@Ryan_Revier]

@Jerry Vargas nope..its uses a traditional SSD based HDD than the current MacBook 2015 that uses NVMe or M.2 SSD.

[@evotravelagent8155]

This video helped me alot... Thanks Darren

[@mr.feathers8697]

I have an SSD from a windows laptop with Win 11 installed. I'm new to Apple but would like to use a Mid 2010 MB I got for free to test the waters. I also have some ram. What is the process of switching the HD from a Windows to Mac? Thanks.

[@superboy3229]

My MacBook Pro is still works but it’s very slower and able not open any the programs. I didn’t back up my external HD nor send them to iCloud. I don’t want lost my everything’s in there. What will I do with it?

[@Laugh_out_loud_hahah]

thx for this i'm planning to fix and upgrade my moms old computer which is a macbook pro mid 2009

[@a2start89]

If you had Final Cut Pro download it, and then replaced the SSD with the new one, would it be gone?

[@CJz262]

[@dodger30]

I have a MacBook Pro 2010 i5 2.4, can this ram upgrade can work for this computer?

[@sachalopar723]

Hi, thanks for the video. My issue is that the boot doesn't work after upgrade. Even with alt tab, or cmd+r or I tried everything it never comes to a screen with a choice to boot from a USB key and the internet recovery stays stuck. I don't have anymore CD for boot Do you know why by holding alt tab pressed during power on it doesn't show me the options of disks for boot? Thank you

[@JaafarMarmar]

I need help. How can I get a USB and access the bot file?

[@jaikumar7875]

Thanks for making and sharing this helpful video. I have a MacBook Pro Mid 2010. I used to use Final Cut Pro and it was working fine but now it’s very slow even though I don’t use any heavy software on it. I actually haven’t used it for some time now. Could you suggest me a software or tool to check the issues please? I also would like to upgrade it, so could you suggest me what part I can upgrade and what maximum capacity I should get for those parts? Thanks in advance.

[@originalbumbu]

You might be tackling the problem for the wrong side. You be using heavier video formats for your editing, 4k video or even 1080p, but better quality.. just a hint. Hope this helps

[@JoaquimPacoteNoé]

My MacBook pro 2010 have a problem green screen. Can you help me teacher

[@user-qs3th6nw8i]

Hello do you need to reset anything if you upgrade your ram?

[@jamesg3184]

Nope! Actually upgrading your RAM is really straightforward. Just insert it and you are good to go!

[@mroqqq7871]

Is it worth to buy and use it for netflix, web browsing and some office stuff? For now i am using old dell latitude with i5 and 6gb RAM, but its battery life is bad. Looking for something as much good in terms of hardware and with better battery life.

[@obitosaldivar1876]

i would say either a unibody 2012 macbook pro 15” with the high res screen or something like a 2015 retina macbook. if you wanna cheap a bit have really good portability the older ipad pro with high refresh rate has the best looking display and is arguably faster then the 2012

[@alexanderlindquist]

i bought a nvme adapter and put in a nvme harddisk better and faster and 16GB ram, on 2010 you can upgrade to 16GB ram

[@dannysky_]

Even tho Apple says 8gb max ?

[@sweettooth5962]

@@dannysky_if you have a MBP Core2Duo you can upgrade to 16GB, then if you have MBP i5 or i7 is limited to a max of 8GB.

[@jesse8614]

Any mid-2010 MacBook Pro i5 or i7 is limited to a maximum of 8GB RAM. If you have a 2010 MacBook Pro Core2Duo (13"), then you are in luck and you can upgrade to 16GB RAM. The type of RAM needed is DDR3 PC3-8500 1066.
