[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1810725, member: 83420"] I quite understand. It is scary to begin with. Trust me, we've all been through that stage. Even now, there are things I won't touch because I'm scared of my incompetence in handling them. To start with, here is a link to a good introduction to cloning and how to set it up from the developer of Carbon Copy Cloner (CCC) which was one of the products I mentioned. [url]https://bombich.com/kb/ccc5/how-set-up-your-first-backup[/url] Once you've digested that, here's a very comprehensive run through from the same developer - it may be more than you want! [url]https://bombich.com/kb/tags/using-ccc[/url] There are video tutorials on YouTube, but be careful to choose one that is from 2017 or later because things have changed in the last 18 months. If you were going down the Time Machine road, then that's fine, but we would have to give detailed instructions because you will have essentially a blank new SSD - ie nothing on it. BTW, I take it that you have confirmed that the Samsung - 860 EVO 500GB Internal SATA Solid State Drive is compatible with your Mac? And if you are able to install the SSD, you must know a fair bit more about computers than you are letting on:D Ian [/QUOTE]
