In this tutorial, I demonstrate how to upgrade your hard drive via cloning through a program called super duper. This will backup everything including your Macintosh HD. It will not backup your windows partition (BOOTCAMP)

For this tutorial, you only need the free version of super duper. No need to purchase the full version. (i do recommend purchasing the full version – This software is awesome)

You will also need an external enclosure to work with your new hard drive. Please look at my previous tutorial how to know which external enclosure you need to purcahse. Heres the link

Run Super Duper. Copy your existing hard drive in your mac, to your new external hard drive you made (the drive containing your hd upgrade) .

Takes about an hour and a half to two hours for the copying process.From there, swap the hard drives, Consult your mac manual how to remove and install your hard drive. Turn on your computer and thats it.

This tutorial teaches you how to take an old hard drive laying around your house and make use of it by turning it into an external hard drive. Once your former internal hard drive, you have to get an external enclosure. Ebay sells them pretty cheap.

Once you have your external enclosure, install your the hard drive into the enclosure and plug it into your Mac. From there you can grab all your old files if you like, but in this tutorial, I teach you how to thoroughly erase the hard drive with no detection of what was on it ever.

After you have erased the hard drive, you now can use it as a regular external hard drive. You just saved lots of money.

If you like to use it as a Time Machine drive, go ahead and go to spotlight, and type in time machine or select it from our dock and set up your new external hard drive with Time Machine.
