In this video, I swap the hard drive out in a Mid-2012 Macbook Pro. Remove those and you'll be able to lift up the hard drive and unplug it. Again over here the Intel core i7 processor is used which can provide a Turbo boost of up to 3.6 GHz with 4MB 元 cache. Alternatively, the other processor used in Apple’s MacBook Pro Mid-2012 is a 2.9 GHz dual-core processor. It's being held in place by 4 more screws. The processor used is the Intel i5 processor which can give a turbo boost of up to 3.1 GHz with a 3 MB 元 cache. With the panel removed you can see the hard drive. Be sure to place them somewhere safe so they don't roll away into oblivion.

Use the #00 screwdriver to remove all the screws on the back. Click on the SSD icon, and select the Partition tab.

Open the Disk Utility in the Applications folder. So shut down your laptop and flip it over. Connect the SSD to the Mac using the mSATA enclosure or adapter. But since you've already gotten this far you're probably both inclined to get it done AND have a machine past warranty anyway. Opening up your MacBook Pro opens you to the possibility of messing something up and voiding your warranty so if that bothers you you can just sit tight with what you have.
