How to disassemble and upgrade from HDD to SSD and also upgrade the RAM. The iMac Mid-2010 is an old computer by the standard (11 years old when recording was made) but can function as a good spare or secondary computer, especially with this SSD upgrade which makes a really big difference in usability and speed.
