    Got a friend’s 2016 iMac computer he wanted a RAM upgrade. You got to take everything out of it to get to the RAM.

    Anyway, I noticed he had a 5400 RPM old school hard drive in it. I suggested a SSD drive upgrade. Any pitfalls common cloning a HD in a Mac? We have some cloning stuff that worked great for cloning drives back in the Win XP days.

    Thanks for the info! Got it done with an external drive cloner. No luck on the RAM upgrade, his computer has the ram directly on the mobo.
