iMac SSD went bad. Can I remove and install 2.5 SSD?
The onboard SSD on my iMac went bad and I need to replace it so my mom can use it. I bought this kit here https://www.ifixit.com/pg/IF174-029?stor... thinking it's all I need but I was surprised to find no SATA drive in my iMac just a big empty spot ... Whoops... It's an M.2 on the logic board.
So can I just pull it out and use the kit to install the 2.5 SSD I got with the ifixit upgrade kit? Will the Mac boot to recovery mode and allow me to restore my time machine backup to the new drive? I'm worried removing the M.2 will make all heck break loose.
Normally I would give up and get my mom an M3 iMac but I already have this iMac torn down to the logic board. I'm committed!
