Love the 2012 MacBook Pros. They were the very last MacBooks with an optical drive and upgradable components. Not to mention, you don’t need stupid dongles to connect other devices.
Just done this. I got a Macbook 2012 13 inch in excellent condition for $135. Had 6 spare free Evo 500GB drives and some free 8GB recycled ram sticks in my collection at home. Love it.
Highly recommended removing the Super drive, buying a sata chassis and a 2nd matching ssd. Format the drives to work in a striped set in Disk Utility from the USB. Increases read speeds even more.
I really want to max out the speed of my 15.4 2012 unibody. If I already have done the 16gb RAM upgrade and swapped the primary drive to SSD, how much speed and/or lower will be added. I have the strongest CPU & GPU from 2012 already installed). Also, will replacing the battery to something brand new (and high quality) help? I like my machine and would like to continue using it as long as possible. When I take it in public, people “in the know” are impressed I’m using a 10 yo laptop with current OS, apps, and okay speed.
This was very helpful. I only had trouble installing the OS to the flash drive; tried 3x b/c the OS wasn’t updated in my laptop but finally got it after 3 tries. The laptop was so slow that I had to leave it running overnight to install. After it was successful I bought the 16GB memory & 500GB HD from OWC. I followed your instructions and finished installing last night. Installing the memory on the top slot was a little challenge b/c the bottom one would pop up. So I inserted both and pressed down. I was concerned that it wouldn’t recognize the 16GB memory but it did. After viewing so many how-to vids in YT your vid was the most concise and easy to follow in 5 mins. I got my 10 y/o MBP to run a lot better now. Thank you so much!
I am going to upgrade my RAM, If I follow the instructions the same as you did, will all my files and folders I have on my laptop currently, will they still be on my MacBook after upgrading the RAM???
@@michaelrobles6420 I first backed up my files using Time Machine onto a portable drive before I did this upgrade. I did a clean install, not carbon copy.

@@zu1502 It matters. That's why you should have mentioned it in your video. There's ways to work around it. Anyone posting a video suggesting a new SSD should cover format, plus how to manage it.
