Do not put the screws back in the bottom cover after SSD install, wait till you power it on and find out everything is working first. Otherwise you have to pull all the screws out again and that's a waste of time.
Excellent tutorial, thank you! I just reset my Mac Book Pro ( late 2013) to manufacture setting and installed OS Catalina. Question: can I install new SSD and then download OS Catalina into the new SSD that I just replaced? Or I have to do any other step?
great video i learned a ton from this. I have the same computer My question is what is the best Curved monitors in the 30 inch plus range to pair with this type of mac for the best display. I had a Samsung 32-inch Curved Full HD Monitor in White. It was really bad, it had glare issues and the display was extra large on the monitor. I tried adjusting the ( display setting on the mac computer and the samsung monitor.But to no avail) , and it made my eyes hurt.
How do you do think if we’re starting from scratch & not from a Time Machine backup. My computer is wiped but when I go to install a fresh osx, no disc pops up. I’m so confused
Hi I followed yr advice on my 2014 retina but no luck at al. I have correct adapter with my 2tb intel 660p and when I eventually get to utilities screen I select time machine.. Then it does nothing. Do I need to format the intel ssd ? With disk utility?
Could somone comment on the size of screw driver for the hard drive. Opening the case is a p5 (5-Point Pentalobe), not sure what to use for the hard drive.
My MacBook Pro 16" is out of storage totally. I can't ad WD easystore back up soI probably can't do Time Machine? Correct . ? I have to keep most files from my Real Estate business.
Perfect!! Bravo!! Thank you so much for your time making this video!
Thank you for your work and good explaination!
Great video. Thanks for this! (need to upgrade x2 (2013 & 2014 mbp)
Thank you for posting
Perfect job!
Do I need to back up everything if it’s from a fresh reset?
Does it increase the speed in day to day use?
Good fast and full guide

After you have installed it, just restore the system from the backup.
great video
if I restore my backup will it also restore the application back also?
Will the same procedure work for a machine from 2022?

Finding screwdrivers for Macbook Pro is a challenge. Did you use the same screwdriver for both SSD and opening the Macbook? Is it Pentalobe P5?
Can you just buy the drive only if you don’t need to back up any data?

Which screwdrivers do i need
Pentalobe and Torx but bit size I'm unsure.

MacBook pro retina 13 mid 2014?
Is it possible to upgrade to 4TB??
Maybe. Hypothetically. I've read a lot on this, and so far I've seen people go for 1 or 2 TB reporting success. I just ordered a Samsung 970 Evo
I upgraded mine to 1tb

I have 2 partition, 1 for Mac and 1 for Data. Do i need to devide partitions on new SSD, or just Time Machine restore for me? Thanks
My MacBook is not recognizing my mac. Have any ideas?
what kind of this SSD sir? M2 NVME?
might be proprietary Apple brand, but on mine it’s built by Samsung? video kinda vague, but he does say to buy a similar drive.
FYI. Mine is a 2015 15”. It prompted me to sign into my Wi-Fi before it would start the internet recovery.

You can use an external harddrive such as a USB flash drive for your time machine back up
Do you think I can upgrade the RAM for this model?
MacBookPro10,1
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013)
No, the ram is welded into the MacBook on these later models. You will damage it if you try.
