Rating: 5/5 Couldn’t have been easier October 9, 2020 Instructions in video were crystal clear. Watch it all the way through before starting. Screws were kind of tight. Had to use a ratchet tool with a t8 and t10 socket heads that I already had for the initial loosening. So happy that I could do this on my own. Went from 8 per slot to to 32 per slot. The computer goes at rocket speed now. :))

Rating: 5/5 Flawless instructions September 25, 2020 Order was quick and arrived in good condition. The install was very smooth having the videos was a great aid to keep me from going to fast. Based off my reading I also highly recommend you test BEFORE you seal the screen on. Makes it easier in case something is amis. This was my first all in one and Mac upgrade. OWC will always be my go to now!

Rating: 5/5 Highly Recommended Upgrade – A DIY Project March 22, 2020 Upgrading the iMac

With the parts finally in my hands and armed with the OWC video, I set about upgrading the iMac. I must mention that the quality of the video is very good. I had it running on my laptop while I worked on the iMac. I paused the video every now and then while I worked. Many people fear the process of opening an iMac. That really, was the least of my worries. It is not such a delicate process once you understand how it is done. The major challenge for me, was disconnecting the various cable contacts within the computer. Broadly speaking, there are three types of contacts inside the iMac. Ones that are just slipped in and out; ones with a latch and a minuscule one with a tiny latch. The usual method is to tug at the cable to pull them out. Not ever having done the sort of work, I did wonder how much pressure was too much pressure. Some of the cables like the AC Inlet Cable, seem to be able to take quite a bit of pressure. Some appear to be so delicate that I was hesitant to even touch them. The cables leading from the Power Supply to the back of the Logic Board was a major challenge (because the instructions were incorrect). The OWC video instruction mentions. “… by squeezing the small tab and sliding the connector out of the socket.” I actually had to take out the entire Logic Board along with the Power Supply module, to look under the Logic Board. It appeared that one needed to pull the tab and then slide the connector out. In any case there is so little space to do that, by reaching under the Logic Board. There must be another way to do it. The rest of it was only careful application and a singular determination to complete the project successfully.

Closing The iMac

Closing the iMac was every bit as tricky as the opening of the machine was. I must mention here that the original Apple adhesive strips Appeared to be of better quality than the ones that came with the OWC Kit. There is also a little bit of a confusion as to positioning of strips 4L and 4R and why their face-up colour should be different. Do also note that positioning the screen at a slant (so that one can make the final two cable connections), before closing the iMac and aligning it flush with the base near the Apple Logo is a bit of a challenge. That final process needs a fair amount of care. The assistance of a second person to hold the screen up while you make the final reconnections, will be helpful.

Installing the Operating System, Migrating Software and Data to new SSD

Migrating the applications and data on the old Drive to the new SSD is a piece of cake, thanks to Apple’s Migration Assistant. Here, I must commend the ease with which the whole process can be handled. The time involved depends on the speed of one’s Internet connection and the amount of data on the old Drive. It took me only 30 minutes to install the Operating System. It took me about 2 hours and 45 minutes to migrate my data.

Rating: 5/5 Straight forward install but be careful November 7, 2019 I'm a normal computer "user" but pretty mechanically inclined and wanted to upgrade my ram on my 2017 iMac 21.5 4k. I watched the video several times and took my time. I even watched the video as I was doing the upgrade. My only issues I had with the install; I needed a stronger magnetic torx drivers and I broke the tiny ZIF connector going to the microphone while reassembling. Maybe in the video if there was a bigger close up of the tiny connector, or I would have researched the particular connector, I wouldn't have broker it. I rarely use the Microphone on my desktop so not a big deal. Understanding the type of connectors was my bigger issue with the install. I see why it was rated high on the difficulty scale. knowledge of the type of connectors would be a huge benefit.

Rating: 5/5 OMG leave all my apps open as it should be January 16, 2019 Previously amazed when in upgraded to a 1TB SSD but then 8GB memory limited the number of applications I could have open at a time and the number of windows open in memory hungry Safari. Doing Online College I would have 8 or ten windows open in Safari an need to do some homework in windows Word to follow along with the examples because the school course is based in Windows Microsoft software and the MAC 2016 version is not identical which led to wrong answers. Now I can do everything without having to close applications or browser windows. Full disclosure: I did have to find software to limit CPU usage by app and process to run everything I like to use at once.

Rating: 5/5 Very good upgrade for our new iMac November 16, 2018 This upgrade kit saved me about $100 over buying more memory from Apple. I highly recommend it for anyone who has ability and is not afraid to take their computer apart. I would not recommend doing this if you are not competent removing and replacing boards, cables and other computer components. Be sure to clean off and remove all the old double faced tape.

Rating: 5/5 Opening a 21.5" iMac is intimidating, but not overwhelming November 1, 2018 The 21.5" iMac is even more challenging to work on than the 27", but if you take your time and don't lose any screws, you can do it. The pizza-cutter screen tool is the best thing since sliced bread. Just make sure you install all the memory and disk you'll need for a while, because it's still a hassle to open the machine, and the fewer times you have to do it, the lower the chance you'll break something.
