![]() ![]() closed that out and got back to the OS X Utilities window, and selected "Recover OS X". Once that finished, I had access to Disk Utility and I erased and formatted the new, blank Samsung SSD into Mac OS Extended (Journal). However, the Mac went straight into Internet Recovery without giving me any options. then I switched the original HD with the new Samsung SSD, rebooted and, based off of the instructions from the OWC website (even though the SSD isn't OWC) it said to hold down Command-R and then I would have access to Disk Utility. I used SuperDuper! to clone the original HD to the Toshiba external HD. But then what? When I hit the power button will it just pop up and ask if I want to use the connected HD? If it's important to know, I has a mid-2012 MBP running El Capitan 10.11.1Ĭorrect, two different devices. and then using a T6 bit, remove the current HD and then install the new SSD. I mean, I know I will need to remove the cover, touch the metal frame to discharge static electricity. I plugged in the external HD, downloaded SuperDuper! and cloned the Macintosh HD to the external. Well, that buddy is at work all night and I'm halfway through the process and lost in the sauce. I then also bought an external HD, because a buddy of mine said he just upgraded his Mac to an SSD by cloning to an external and then putting in the new SSD. I bought a new Samsung 850 EVO SSD to upgrade my Mac. ![]() I'll try to make my question short and clear. OK, so I'm more or less computer illiterate, so I apologize for coming off ignorant and/or incompetent I'm from the generation that pretty much only uses computers to find free "adult" stuff.
