Hi all,
I have a 21.5 iMac late 2013 and it is starting to run very slow, beach ball every time i try to do something. Unfortunately to do any upgrade on this model you have to remove the screen and almost de-assemble to upgrade RAM.
However, upgrading the hard drive looks a little easier and something I could probably attempt. Can't really afford a new mac at the moment but could probably afford a new 1Tb SSD.
From those that have experience with this - would an SSD upgrade improve the performance of the machine and any tips on what would be needed in terms of prep for replacement - i take it backing up everything externally is a pre requisite.
Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Guy
