Handover on 2011 MBP

[JohnHamilton]

So I've just downloaded Yosemite and iOS 8 and really interested in the new hand off and continuity features but it needs bluetooth 4.0 which early 2011 Macbook Pros don't have. I have ordered this part off eBay which is compatible and seems an easy installation.

Was wondering if this will work or has anyone performed this upgrade themselves ?

Hey, Yes, it can be done. For detail check this thread:

It is one of many that detail this issue, for your particular machine. Make sure that the card you orders has CAX in the model number and not AX.
