Saved my life, would have had no idea what to do without these instructions and would probably have broke something. My new 2tb ssd is working fine

Upgraded the Memory to 32GB and the HDD to a 1TB SATA SSD.

Only issue I ran into was one of the optical drive screws was frozen in, stripped hard, and I had to fall back on Moodys to break it loose. Once done, everything else was cake.
