Hardrive and Ram

Im thinking about upgrading my Mid 2010 Macbook pro to a 8gb Ram and a about a 528gb hardrive..I was wondering how I could transfer the memory over to the new hardrive. Can anyone please help me?

get a external Enclosure for your old hard drive.

Connect your old drive to USB or Firewire port

After clean install OS X use "Migration Assistant " to restore your old files and app to new hard drive.

Thank you!

Why is the external exclosure needed though?

It's needed 'coz you have to connect your old drive to MBP via USB. Your old drive can not connect directly to USB port. it can't transfer without any connection ;D

Migration Assistant only allow you to restore from :
- Another mac in Network
- From time machine back up
- Other disk

don't worry It's not expensive and you can use your old drive as external drive. check out this link Links

Easier than an enclosure is a universal adapter - link.

Great suggestion. I bought one of those for my own use a while back.

And then once you take your data off the old hard drive, you can use it to store other stuff. Extra hard drives are always handy to have around!
