Hs clean disk pro install#
If you just simply clone an installed High Sierra drive from an external SSD or install it on an external SSD, the installer WILL NOT INSTALL the SMC firmware and the BOOT firmware needed to support APFS. The firmware that is needed to support APFS.

And the reason is that, cloning the drive back to SSD WILL NOT UPDATE your Macbook Pro 2010 firmware. I will explain the main reason why some guys on iFixit said it's a bad idea to clone the boot drive with HS back into the SSD for your Macbook Pro 2010.

Someone here had already posted a good guide to upgrade your Macbook Pro 2010 to High Sierra, so I won't repeat. If things don't go as planned, you'll still have a working computer. THE REASON for doing the install with the external enclosure is that you can "prep and test" the new SSD WITHOUT disturbing your current OS setup. Log in, go to the startup disk pref pane, and select the new SSD to be the NEW boot drive. Put the new SSD and cable it, close it up.Īgain, use the "option key trick" to start. Take out the old HDD and hard drive cable if you're going to replace that. Reboot, and IMMEDIATELY hold down the option key and KEEP HOLDING IT DOWN until the startup manager appears. When setup assistant is done, DO ONE OR MORE TEST BOOTS while the SSD is still in the enclosure. You can use setup assistant to migrate your data from the internal drive to the new SSD. Now, install High Sierra onto it (drive will be automatically converted to APFS).

Now, erase (format) it to Mac OS extended with journaling enabled, GUID partition format. Get the SSD (the one that will end up in the MBP) into the enclosure. Get an EXTERNAL 2.5" USB3 enclosure if you don't have one. Thank you in advance for your assistance.ĮDIT: I am performing this upgrade at home where my only internet connection is through tethering to my phone, so Internet Recovery is out of the picture unless I camp out somewhere with wifi. The actual physical install seems like a piece of cake next to preparing for it. I'm in a muddle - I keep making progress and hitting snags. Sit back, amazed that this seemingly interminable task has been completed!Īlso, the HDD in my computer is old and probably failing (original to my refurbished purchase in 2011), does it really make sense to move data from this disk versus one of my brand new WD 2TB HDD drives I'm using for backup? (Or "Restore a Disk" in Disk Utility from a backup?) Use Migration Assistant to move data from HDD to SSD. (Use Recovery Mode on one of the backups? Boot from USB installer?) (What about the HDD externals' file system? APFS? HFS+? Can I create an exact copy using "Restore a Disk" in Disk Utility? Again, will it be bootable?) Upgrade the backups to reflect the OS upgrade. (Can I do this without CCC? Using Disk Utility?) Make current (preferably bootable) backups for the HDD currently in the machine. (Do I have to do this? Will I be able to clean install OS from Recovery in a backup?) Make bootable installers for El Capitan and High Sierra This is my working plan, with questions inserted: I am prepared to remake the backups in a better way if using CCC is to be avoided. I have been warned (by a couple of very helpful, pro greybeards on iFixit) against cloning from a CCC bootable clone to move my data and instead to install the SSD, clean install High Sierra (for the sake of the APFS) and then run Migration Assistant from the current (by then removed) HDD via USB. I have a Crucial MX500 SSD and a new HD cable to install in the MBP. I have been slogging through what feels like 20% of the internet today trying to wrap my head around all the steps in this process. I have two identical HDD bootable clones made with CCC. I need to cross a few different chasms here: from El Capitan to High Sierra from HDD to SSD from HFS+ to APFS.

I have a series of questions pertaining to the general sequence of actions I need to take as well as what those specific actions are and how they are best performed.
I am attempting to upgrade a 13" mid 2010 MBP running El Capitan. Greetings - first post, relatively new to forums in general, thanks for being patient with me!
