what's up guys johnathan it with Texas lunch and dinner bringing you part one to my quad-core MacBook Pro upgrade and the first step we got to do is move the 11 screws on the bottom side of the MacBook Pro now once all the screws are removed we're going to pull the lid off you're going to get a little bit of resistance I'm going to put a little bit of muscle into it once hear the click sound you know you get to go we'll go ahead and start out with the RAM there's two little levers go ahead and push those out to pop out the RAM take the first module out proceeded to do the same exact thing with the second module this is probably the easiest part of the installation now that the old Ram is out let's go to put the new modules in starting with the bottom one put it in at a slight angle give it a little shake and bake look for a click and I'm going to do the same exact thing second module and you're all set give me a high-five you got the memory in now before we install the SSD we got to remove the old hard drive so there's two screws on the top right there that enclose the hard drive let's go and remove those so we can pull the hard drive out once that's off let's go to pull the SATA connector off the hard drive and we got to pull this little tab off right here because we're going to use it again on the SSD and for the last step of removing the old hard drive there's four screws on each corner the hard drive let's go and remove those now those same four screws removed from the old hard drive let's go and install them onto the new SSD or fourth Onan like a 7200 rpm hard drive same thing applies just go and put it on the new drive once all the screws are installed we're going to go to put the SATA connector back on as well as that tab when you put it in make sure you put it in towards you first and then the other way around after that's all secured in place we're gonna go put the enclosure back on the SSD and we're almost ready to go next we're going to go to put all 11 of those screws back on and secure the lid before we turn on the MacBook Pro now that we're all done let's go to and flip the MacBook Pro open turn it on that list I'm going to walk you guys through doing a fresh install the OS what we've got to do is hold down the option key until the gray screen appears once you do that you can install the disk keep holding down the option key what this is going to allow you to do is choose your boot up preferences and then from there you'll be able to choose the Mac OS tedious code and click that once the city boots up we got to format the SSD before we can install the OS so let's go and go up to disk utilities we're going to select the drive we want to format head over to partition for this instance I'm just going to set it up to one partition you want to make sure it's set up to GUI D partition table and we're gonna do mac OS journals extended that's gonna allow you to format it so you can put the OS on there once that's all done you can select a newly formatted SSD go and select that so you can install the OS on there and you're basically ready to go so go and stay tuned for part two I'm going to compare the before and after give you guys benchmarks kind of a stress test I'm gonna break this down into basically a four part review the third video will be the installation of the data doubler so thank you guys for watching hopefully this helps let me know what's your configuration if you plan on upgrading your MacBook Pro is feel free to subscribe and I will catch you guys later
