How to determine compatibility with a 15" MacBook Pro7,1
I am in the process of researching to what extent I can upgrade my Apple Refurbished 15” mid 2010 MacBook Pro with Model Identifier 7,1. My question arises because apparently there is no such thing as a 15” 7,1 model. I am guessing the refurbishment of my machine is the cause of this discrepancy.
Processor: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
OSX 10.6.8
I want to upgrade the OS to the most current possible, the RAM (to the highest possible), and the HD to at least a 1 TB SSD. I also need to replace the battery and possibly the trackpad.
I understand that 15” mid 2010 MBPs only officially support 8 GB RAM; only the 13” models support 16 GB. How do I determine the official capacity of my machine?
When attempting to determine compatibility with an SSD or any other parts, how do I know what will work when my machine falls in between categories? I am only barely computer literate. Is the reason my machine falls between categories because of a difference in the motherboard?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Try this open 'About This Mac' It will also tell you what your system is. Post an snapshot here for us to see too!
You can't fit a 13" logic board in a 15" system so something is not correct here.

Thanks, Dan - I finally figured out I was just plain wrong... I had it in my mind that my machine was a 15" (I bought it so long ago and just changed my mind along the way) and even measured it diagonally across the screen (like a TV) to see it was exactly 15." Now I know that is not how MBPs are measured, finally checked the dimensions on the Apple spec page. I know there is no such thing as a stupid question, but I feel more than a little stupid for my wrongheadedness with this question. Thanks for taking the time to answer.
