I always do my best to get the most out of every product I buy. When it comes to Apple Computers, I believe you can get 10 years out of an iMac and 7 years out of a MacBook Air or MacBook Pro. When the new iMacs were released this summer, I almost purchased one but then I thought about this Mid-2011 iMac I own. What if it still has some great potential left that is going unrecognized? What if we could save $3,000 and get another 3 to 4 years out of this iMac?? Watch this video and you will see everything I went through, including which SSD I decided to buy, how I prepared my system and protected my data, cloning the drive using Disk Utility, damaging the LCD data cable, and finally redeeming myself and successfully making this upgrade work. I think it was absolutely worth it and this video will show you everything you need to do. If you have any questions, please ask!
