Don't think I have it in me to help friend with 2015 iMac 21.5" swap HDD to SSD
#1
Friend has a late 2015 non retina 21.5" iMac with a regular HDD in it. Getting a lot of rainbow wheels with Catalina. It's quite disruptive. I experienced this on my 2011 Mac mini after I put High Sierra on it. A switch to SSD cleared that right up.

However, I just watched the friendly video from our sponsor and lost my nerve. It is labeled by our sponsor as "Advanced". It involved wedging the lcd monitor off.

A local place in town will charge $150 to do the swap. The friend has a 24" LG monitor. I may suggest finding a cheap Mac mini with SSD drive to use with that external monitor

Should I cowboy up? I am scared that I won't be able to put the thing back together.
