instal the new version for mac WD SSD Dashboard 5.3.2.4

We’ve removed your post Install macOS on new SSD? from the Apple Support Communities site because it contained some questionable advice. Thanks for participating in Apple Support Communities. It is the modern equivalent of the old red-nech trick of sending the utility company a registered recorded-delivery envelope with nothing inside, just to wind them up. The no-reply email, beloved of the utility companies, is the most irritating thing on the internet. I've done them often enough having owned and administered macs since 1988.Īnyway, I would not contaminate this thread with my moaning, except that they wrote to me from a 'no reply' email address. In any case, I'd like to set their minds at rest by confirming that I'm not talking through my hat and I have confirmed that my suggestions will work.

I don't know whether they objected to my suggestion of a cloning approach or buying an aftermarket product related to the powertrain. My earlier post was removed by the Apple Support Communities Staff. Look for items that show they have been solved (a green filled in circle with a checkmark inside it). Good luck and congratulations on joining -) Don't forget you can search these forums for questions that have already been asked and answered. Installing a new SSD drive in your MacBook is no big deal - for example you can see how on Perhaps someone else would be able to confirm the ability to do this without having another Mac? You would have to be able to create HFS+ disk images and that capability is not very common on Windows systems.

There is also a way to build an USB thumb drive installer and only have to install once, but not sure if you can do this without already having a Mac to create it. You didn't mention which MacBook Pro you got (there was a 13' and 15' and 17' in 2010), so if the link below is for a different model of MacBook you might need to do a little Google'ing for your specific model.

You will need to install the original OS first and then upgrade to current version of OS. My suggestion would be to ask someone in your IT department for help with the loan of either the DVD that would have come with the 2010 MacBook Pro system so you can install a new OS on the new SSD or purchase your own on Amazon or eBay or Craigslist or borrow one from a friend with a similar MacBook Pro or maybe you have a local Mac User Group that could help?
