So with my taxes I am purchasing a used 2010 MacBook Pro, and I was looking into upgrading the RAM, and will definitely be able to do that, but I was also wondering about the possibility of putting an SSD in the MBP as well, and was wondering where I should start.

Thanks!

This should help https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4741
Also this is another area you can look Mac Upgrades (Upgrade My Mac and Your Mac) @ EveryMac.com

Definitely possible to do easily yourself. I suggest going to OWC (macsales.com). Not only do they sell all sorts of Mac upgrades but they have good instructions and tutorials.

Now will I be required to keep my HDD? Or is there a way to just have the SSD?

[warcraftWidow]

You can have just the SSD. You ca also get kits to replace the DVD drive with a secondary hard drive. Make sure you have the OSX installation on USB first.

Hmmm. Okie doke. Thanks for the help. I'll have to look at OWC and EveryMac to make sure that I am getting the right stuff and I'll keep you guys updated.
